Prerequisites: no coding experience necessary, just the urge to see cool apps. The live coding part may be a little hard to follow if you don't have JavaScript experience, but we encourage you to ask question in the chat and comments!

Building Glitch

We need your help with our next phase of improving Node support (ie. we’re deprecating very old versions 6 + 8)! Last week was the deadline for updating projects using Node 8 and below but you can always edit your projects, they just won't run until then!

• Read more about this on our blog
• And here's our help doc on Node versions.

Keep an eye on the Building Glitch category in the forum for future updates and to share your own ideas and feedback.
