She set up my North Dakota State University (Go Bison!) file with the appropriate stats labels, and I set up her University of Massachusetts file. It was nice to be able to go through the process of creating a branch, making and committing file changes, submitting the pull request, merging the pull request, and giving each other a high-five when it was all done. Well, the high-five came after a bit of troubleshooting. We had a bit of trouble getting pull requests to go in the right direction and we had a conflict issue. It didn't help that we couldn't get Nitrous running on both of our machines. But after we did some workarounds and resolved our issues, we got it done! I'm looking forward to applying this collaborative process to my final project. It will certainly make life easier. + +Click [here](https://github.com/silshack/NCAA/pull/11) to view the pull request for the University of Massachusetts file updates. + + + +*** + +#Sierra says: + +It was challenging to make certain that the branch was created in the right place.

I think that I have gained +a more nuanced understanding of IT/hacking/coding culture. Although, it's an intrinsically +geeky group, they're pretty friendly and supportive of outsiders. Surpisingly, I even saw python +as more than a few irritating algebra equations. + +I encountered other students, independent professionals, interested parties with little +to no programming experience, experts, one person with a very nice convertible(where does he work!) +and several experienced and helpful programmers/developers. At the Tripython meeting there was probably +a 70/30 split of men to women, but the ages were quite varied(a high school student was even present). +There were people with backgrounds in math, computer science, english, information science, linguistics etc. + +My experience with programming has been very minimal in the past, but my impression of the field is that +it's relatively simple to become initiated with the various languages, due to the prevalance of workshops, +meetups and courses offered both independently and academically. + +In the future I anticipate incorporating python into my graphic design/web design interests. +Will I attend a meet-up in the future? Possibly, they can be cost prohibitice for students being that +many courses and groups that provide instruction are understandably pricy. I want to take web design courses +and choose another language to gain an intermediate level of functionality in. I will now have to decide which +language suits my professional goals. + +I felt out of my element at times, but attending meetups is no longer daunting for me. I did not feel alienated due +to being a student, my age or my race at all. I met plenty of coders of color, a few veterans, a lesbian lady, a gamer, +a hilarious child of one of the organizers and even saw a few fellow INLS 560 people. After one meet-up I actually received messages thanking me for attending +and a few people were sent messages indicating that they were interested in networking with me.
