See all- Introduction to SurrealDB: A Modern Database for the FutureLink visible for attendees
Getting Started with SurrealDB is a 3-part online workshops series hosted by Women Coding Community in collaboration with SurrealDB. During these hands-on workshops, Caroline Morton - software engineer and senior research fellow at SurrealDB - will demonstrate SurrealDB's functionality and use cases, both as a traditional relational database, as well as highlighting the additional features and benefits of a multi-model database.
This session will introduce SurrealDB and examine its core advantages in comparison to traditional databases like PostgreSQL and MongoDB. We will explore how SurrealDB handles the management of multiple database environments and facilitates communication between them, making it well-suited for complex, modern applications.
The discussion will also touch on SurrealDB's architecture, built in Rust, and its support for multi-modal data, enabling the use of different data models within a single system. Additional built-in features such as vector search, full-text search, and the ability to embed machine learning models directly in the database will be analyzed to provide insight into its capabilities and potential use cases for developers.

https://womencodingcommunity.com/code-of-conduct - Design Patterns CourseLink visible for attendees
Join Women Coding Community for our next session on design patterns!
Design Patterns Course
In this series of events, we will explore popular design patterns and their implementations in Python and Java, using "Head First Design Patterns" as our reference book. After covering the key concepts, we will examine how the patterns have evolved to support modern architectures (distributed systems and microservices).
Course Highlights🚀 Pattern of the Week: Creational pattern
As a nice-to-have for this session, we recommend reading Chapters 4 & 5 as well as Builder (p.614) and Prototype (p.626) patterns of the Head First Design Patterns book.🚀 Design Pattern Deep Dives with Guided Learning: Each week, we will dive into fundamental design patterns through a structured, chapter-by-chapter exploration of the Head First Design Patterns book. We will break down the purpose, structure, and real-world applications of each pattern. This guided learning approach will ensure a comprehensive and practical understanding of design patterns.
📜 Earn a Certificate: Upon successfully completing the course, including participation in discussions and submission of quizzes, you will receive a certificate recognizing your achievement in mastering key design patterns.
To qualify for the certificate, participants must attend at least 60% of the sessions.

Getting Started with SurrealDB is a 3-part online workshops series hosted by Women Coding Community in collaboration with SurrealDB. During these hands-on workshops, Caroline Morton - software engineer and senior research fellow at SurrealDB - will demonstrate SurrealDB's functionality and use cases, both as a traditional relational database, as well as highlighting the additional features and benefits of a multi-model database.
This session will provide a practical exploration of some of SurrealDB’s key out-of-the-box features. We’ll focus on fundamental operations such as CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete), schema definition, and SurrealDB’s unique "Get functions." Additionally, we’ll take a look at the Surreal Store demo dataset to see how these features can be applied in real-world scenarios.
The session will emphasize hands-on learning rather than covering every feature in detail, giving participants an opportunity to engage with the database directly. We'll also take time to reflect on the pros and cons of the features we explore, providing a balanced understanding of where SurrealDB excels and where it may have limitations.
