FAQs:

Are there any prerequisites for the event? Do I have to know how to run docker, for example?

During the workshop, we’ll build a real-world assistant from start to finish, which includes using developer tools like GitHub, docker, and Google Cloud Platform. While you don’t need to be an expert with these tools, familiarity with the command line, Git, and the basics of application hosting will help you get the most out of the workshop.

Before the workshop, we’ll send out an email with instructions for installing dependencies on your machine, as well as a pre-workshop assignment to give you a foundation for what we’ll cover. If any questions come up while completing the pre-workshop assignment, we’ll host an office hours session shortly before the workshop to answer them.

What do I need to bring?

Bring your laptop (Windows, Mac, or Linux), with all dependencies installed. We’ll send an email before the workshop with installation instructions.

Do I need to know Python?

We’ll provide starter code during the workshop, so expert-level knowledge of Python isn’t required. We do recommend having some experience with making API requests and being able to read and understand Python.
