Vaqcoders,

Welcome to the Vaqcoders website, brought to you by GitHub.com. GitHub is a platform that organizes the code of the programs that you produce, so it is a must-have for all developers.

Learning to program takes a lot of self-teaching, failure, patience, practice, and frustration, but mainly, self-integrity. This can be compared to exercise, in that you cannot cheat yourself out of working out. If you are truly curious and excited about programming, you will succeed.

Joining the Vaqcoders doesn’t only mean learning about how to make super cool unblocked games or dope websites; it also means becoming part of a like-minded, intellectual group of fellow Vaqueros looking to expand their scholarly arsenal of skills.

You will find that learning to program will be the most important skill you will have ever learned. There are no assignments or deadlines to abide by with the Vaqcoders. In fact, the goal is to be a functional group with constant, valuable feedback to share our experiences with one another, to help each other learn at our own paces, on our own time.

Stay excited for super cool programming demos, club projects, and other interesting activities planned for the near future!
