Flatiron Students Present
Yesterday evening, we kicked off this semester’s weekly student presentations. Every Flatiron student has to give at least one technical presentation while they’re here.

Events @Flatiron
We’re really lucky to be able to host and attend a lot of events with the NYC programming community almost every day. Last week was no exception. We co-hosted a pretty huge Dev Stackup with Charlie O’Donnell, and grads from our most recent class got to share what they’ve been up to with NY Tech […]
