23-27 August 2023Hallandsåsens Vandrarhem

Backend Programming with Python

Five days of intermediate backend coding, good food, and fun social activities. Surrounded by beautiful nature and new friends.

Would you like to polish your backend skills in a supportive and inclusive environment and get ready to shine like a star in job interviews? Then this year’s intermediate summer camp is for you!🌟


Backend might not be visual, but it is a crucial part of any application. It takes care of data integration, authentication, data storing and a lot more. In this camp, we’ll take you on a tour of backend programming and brush up on the skills that will make you shine in interviews! Using the Python programming language, we’ll build projects to deepen your programming knowledge and learn about topics such as data engineering and security.

What:
The camp will include both introductory theory and practical projects. Whenever we're not coding together, we'll offer the possibility to try other fun activities like hiking, improvisation theater, and more! Also, if you prefer to spend your downtime resting on your own, that's of course up to you to decide!

For who:
We welcome all women (cis and transgender) and non-binary people interested in backend programming. This is an intermediate camp. It is perfect for you who have some prior experience with programming - maybe you already did a beginners course or built your first hobby project, or maybe you are working as a junior developer? You can also take a beginners online course during the summer and then join us for the camp! If you’re not completely sure about this camp being a good fit for you, please reach out and we’ll guide you according to your specific case.

Doesn't this sound like an amazing Summer plan? Join us for a unique experience in which super interesting topics, learning, fun, and new friends are guaranteed! 💖
