TechJuice was built with the aim to fill a gaping hole in the tech industry of Pakistan: coverage being given to startups to present their ideas and gain exposure in a rapidly evolving tech landscape. We are continuously looking for new areas with which to help push the budding tech community in Pakistan. Programs like 25 under 25 and events like TechJuice Circle are a testament to our commitment to bringing our audience closer to the latest innovations and high achievers in Pakistan’s technological landscape.
With the same enthusiasm and zeal in heart, we are taking on a brand new venture. In a partnership with Arbisoft, one of the leading software houses in Pakistan, TechJuice is arranging a boot camp in University of Central Punjab, Lahore, focused on giving the participants who are starting with Python programming a thorough understanding of the tools and frameworks available for this rapidly growing language.
TechJuice Bootcamp: Getting started with Python will feature speakers and mentors from Arbisoft. While working at one of the best and most prominent software houses in Pakistan, these industry veterans have been effectively making use of Python to solve complex and critical problems being faced by their clients. We believe that there is no one better who can give the first-hand experience to participants aspiring to learn more about Python than these amazing individuals.
