About this event

πŸš€ We're building something REAL this July

GDG Johannesburg is hosting a 4-week online codelab series, and by the end you'll have a fully working job application tracker built with Angular, Firebase, and AI.

This won't be a toy project. It's a complete application you can actually use.

What you're getting:

β†’ Angular + Firebase full stack

β†’ AI integration with Google Gemini to auto-parse jobs and write cover letters

β†’ $30 in AI credits, plus $20 more upon completion of the series ($50 total)

4 online sessions. 60 mins each. 7PM SAST.

Kicks off Wednesday, 8 July, then Tuesdays from the 14th.

What we will cover:

Week 1 - 8 July - Introduction to Angular

Week 2 - 14 July - Authentication for Your App

Week 3 - 21 July - Cloud Firestore

Week 4 - 28 July - Adding a serverless backend

Pre-reading, starter files, and WhatsApp support will be provided.

Seats are limited. RSVP now to participate.

Let's build. πŸ”₯
