Learn what the future of code holds live from the experts

Tech skills are changing faster than ever. LinkedIn Economic Graph Data shows that software and IT skills have changed over 30% in the last 5 years and that change is accelerating. LinkedIn Learning knows how important hands-on practice is that mirrors software development in the workplace to accelerate learning in this quickly changing landscape.??

When it comes to software development skills. Until now, there haven’t been any solid solutions to overcome the constant need to save or push your code to source control. GitHub Codespaces improves developer workflows since all the setup lives in the cloud and is customized to each project.?

LinkedIn Learning is partnering with GitHub to bring codespaces to 50+ tech courses in over 6 major programming languages to create a real-world software development environment within LinkedIn Learning to use as a learning tool. This will be available for today’s most popular programming languages, as well as key topics like data science, AI and machine learning.?

RSVP below to join “The Future of Code Week” so you can learn how new ways of coding are changing the way we work, grow, and learn. Check out one of the 50 new courses for free through February 28th, 2023, to help you start getting real-world practice in the programming language you’re most interested in. Spend more time learning with quick setup from any device.

11/17, 11am PT: Will Languages Like Go and Rust Overtake their Legacy? with Adelina Simion , Marcus Willock , and Ray Villalobos

Emerging languages like Go and Rust don’t just solve problems, they invent new ways of working and change the course of legacy languages. Will the new take over the old? Will the adjustments to existing programming languages be enough to stave innovation? Or, is it best at some point to start from scratch and rethink the foundation of how we approach programming? Join us to hear experts’ predictions for what the future of emerging languages holds and the effects on how this will change how we work.
