The OpenTechSchool has set up and hosted a few tech workshops and meetups here in Berlin now. Aside from the monthly Beginners Meetup and hosting the Udacity Global Meetup we hosted workshops for program beginners in Python and Javascript on our own and on the premise of CampusParty.

One thing that was extraordinary popular on CampusParty was the Workshop on Git for beginners. And we decided to do it again, this time with a closer focus on version control as a major benefit in code sharing (by using git and github) for beginners - free of charge.

On November 27, 2013 I was asking the brilliant Android developers at GDG Android in Berlin for their favorite libraries that make their lives easier and should be included in every newly developed app.

This is the list of libraries we collected during this 10 minute session.
