Matthew McCullough, a GitHub Git Trainer, is offering a free, one-hour live webinar titled "The Basics of Using GitHub," aimed at newcomers who want to learn Git and GitHub essentials without delving into GitHub Help pages. The initial session, which quickly filled its 100 available slots, will take place on September 14th at 10:00 am MDT, with a second opportunity on September 28th for those who missed out. The course will guide participants in setting up Git through various methods and provide an overview of GitHub's capabilities as a version control tool and web application for developers, designers, and managers in both open source and commercial settings. Classes will continue to be offered regularly, every one to four weeks, based on demand, and registrations are managed on a first-come, first-serve basis using the GoToWebinar platform.
