To help students turn classroom knowledge into practical skills and build a campus platform for mutual learning and collaboration, the Coding Together Programming Club at BiUH recently held its first programming salon. The event focused on practical tech sharing, centering on hands-on instruction for the version control tool Git. It attracted many programming enthusiasts and fostered a strong learning atmosphere.
The salon was led by Chen Junhao, a first-year student in Computer Science, and Li Xingzhi, a second-year student in Digital Technologies. Both speakers came well-prepared and delivered a clear, step-by-step introduction to Git, helping students tackle common challenges in code management.
The event kicked off with a relatable question: “How do you recover from code mistakes?” This served as the entry point to introduce the importance of Git as a version control tool. The speakers gave a systematic overview of Git’s applications, installation methods, and core concepts, helping participants build a foundational understanding and quickly grasp the basics.
To help students reinforce what they learned in a relaxed setting, the event featured a coffee break. The club provided drinks and snacks, and the speakers along with club leaders engaged in face-to-face discussions, answering technical questions one-on-one. This not only cleared up learning difficulties but also enhanced interaction among participants.
Building on the basics, the speakers moved on to advanced Git techniques, demonstrating core commands such as push and fetch with practical examples. Their solid expertise and hands-on approach sparked a strong interest among students to continue exploring programming in greater depth.
The success of this salon would not have been possible without the careful preparation of Chen Junhao and Li Xingzhi, as well as the active participation and support of all students who attended. The Coding Together Programming Club remains committed to the belief that “if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” We will continue to build an open, collaborative, and efficient programming platform for students at BiUH, supporting everyone on their journey to technical growth.
We look forward to welcoming more students to join us as we explore the world of programming and grow together in our technical skills!
