The Dublin Hackerspace
Sometimes you simply like to learn something from scratch. Here is your chance.
TOG proudly presents PHP for Beginners.
In 5 weeks we will cover the basics of PHP development. The classes are 2 and a half hours long. We’re keeping the class size small, with 6 participants. The course costs €30 for non-members and is free for TOG members. Participants must be at least 18 years old.
Happy Birthday to TOG…. Happy Birthday to TOG…
One year ago on the 29th of January 2009, 17 people came together with a common goal of setting up a shared work space.
We met in the bar area of a hotel in Dublin and started TOG. It started with very little structure, design and almost no plan. It was a blank piece of paper just waiting for the TOG members to design what they wanted from a workspace.
Lots of people at the time (not including our first members) that we pushed the idea to said it would never work… that it could not be done. Sorry to all of you – we proved you wrong. The meetings continued with no space for a few months while we created both our plans and our funding. In May 2009 we opened the door on the first workspace.
If you look back at the minutes from the first few meetings the space has evolved into a pretty close match for what people wanted.
A BIG thank you go out to all our members for paying for the space, for working ‘on’ and ‘in’ the space and for believing in the project from day 1.
Happy Birthday…. and here’s to the next year and the years that follow.

We have invited other teams through robots.ie, to come to the space,discuss and show the progress they have made on their robots. We are also opening up this evening to the public (see booking below) to show Amateur Robotics is alive and well in Ireland. There will be a number of basic robotics kits (cost to be confirmed) for those who wish to kick start themselves in the world of robotics.
