进入阿富汗最友好的编码俱乐部 (Inside Afghanistan’s friendliest coding club)

When you think of Afghanistan, you may think of the ongoing 17-year war that has claimed the lives of thousands of people.

当您想到阿富汗时，您可能会想到正在进行的长达17年的战争夺去了数千人的生命。

But amid all the turmoil, a generation of software developers is working to redefine Kabul — Afghanistan’s capital city and home to 5 million people — as a global technology hub.

但是在动荡不安中，一代软件开发人员正在努力将喀布尔(阿富汗的首都，拥有500万人的住所)重新定义为全球技术中心。

Every weekend, dozens of ambitious developers meet in offices around Kabul to code together and share their knowledge with one another.

每个周末，数十位雄心勃勃的开发人员在喀布尔附近的办公室开会，共同编码并彼此共享知识。

进入CodeWeekend，这是一个基层组织，正在扩大喀布尔的技术领域 (Enter CodeWeekend — a grass-roots organization that’s expanding Kabul’s tech scene)

More than 3,000 Afghan developers and developers-in-training are part of CodeWeekend.

CodeWeekend拥有3,000多名阿富汗开发人员和接受培训的开发人员。

CodeWeekend hosts coding events around Kabul each weekend.

CodeWeekend每个周末都会在喀布尔举办编码活动。

To date, they’ve hosted more than 100 events.

迄今为止，他们已经举办了100多次活动。

CodeWeekend absorbed the freeCodeCamp Kabul study group, and has now become its own nonprofit organization. It focuses on helping Kabul locals improve their programming skills and build their professional networks.

CodeWeekend吸收了免费的CodeCamp喀布尔研究小组，现已成为自己的非营利组织。 它专注于帮助喀布尔当地人提高其编程技能并建立他们的专业网络。

They achieve this by running free programming workshops, providing networking opportunities, and helping make technology more accessible.

他们通过举办免费的编程研讨会，提供联网机会以及帮助使技术更易于访问来实现这一目标。

“We have 2 types of sessions. Our weekly sessions teach people who are new to programming. And our monthly events bring software developers and other tech professionals together under one roof so they can share knowledge and provide an opportunity for networking.” — Jawed Mansoor, CodeWeekend organizer

“我们有两种类型的会议。 我们每周的课程会教给刚接触编程的人。 我们的每月活动将软件开发人员和其他技术专业人员聚集在一起，以便他们可以共享知识并提供建立联系的机会。” — CodeWeekend组织者Jawed Mansoor

The CodeWeekend community goes to great lengths to be as inclusive as possible.

CodeWeekend社区竭尽全力尽可能地做到包容。

It has a strictly-enforced code of conduct that would be right at home at a Silicon Valley tech conference.

它具有严格执行的行为准则，恰好适合在硅谷的技术会议上使用。

The code of conduct encourages behaviors like:

行为守则鼓励以下行为：

• Using welcoming and inclusive language
  使用欢迎和包容的语言
• Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
  尊重不同的观点和经验
• Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
  优雅地接受建设性的批评
• Focusing on what is best for the community
  专注于对社区最有利的事物
• Showing empathy towards other community members
  对其他社区成员表示同情

CodeWeekend is broken down into neighborhood-level chapters — each with chapter leaders. These chapter leaders reach out to local companies and organizations to secure sponsors and venues for events.

CodeWeekend分为社区级别的章节-每个章节都有章节负责人。 这些分会负责人与当地公司和组织联系，以确保活动的赞助商和场所。

“We don’t spend a lot on our events. We need a venue and some refreshments, maybe a projector. Whenever we want to have an event, we contact a private sector organization so they can provide us with space and internet. We’re looking forward to always having at least small room where we can have a dedicated venue.” — Mustafa Ehsan, CodeWeekend mentor

“我们在活动上没有花很多钱。 我们需要一个场地和一些茶点，也许是放映机。 每当我们想要举办活动时，我们都会与私营部门组织联系，以便他们可以为我们提供空间和互联网。 我们期待始终拥有至少一个小房间，在那里我们可以有一个专门的场地。” — CodeWeekend导师Mustafa Ehsan

Each event is around 3 hours long. First the teachers start by giving a high-level introduction to a topic. Then everybody starts working through freeCodeCamp.org’s curriculum. 3 or 4 mentors will float around helping people when they get stuck or have a question.

每个事件大约需要3个小时。 首先，教师首先对主题进行简要介绍。 然后，每个人都开始学习freeCodeCamp.org的课程。 当人们陷入困境或有疑问时，会有3或4位导师四处游荡帮助人们。

“We have people consistently coming each week, with a high level of passion. Whenever we don’t have an event, people call and ask us why not. They really want this.” — Mustafa Ehsan, CodeWeekend mentor

“我们每周都有一群热情不断地来的人。 每当我们没有活动时，人们就会打电话问我们为什么没有。 他们真的想要这个。” — CodeWeekend导师Mustafa Ehsan

And their volunteer efforts are working. People from the CodeWeekend community are getting jobs as developers.

他们的志愿工作正在努力。 来自CodeWeekend社区的人们正在获得开发人员的工作。

Many of the jobs that their community members are getting involve building services for the Afghanistan government and local and international startups and companies.

他们的社区成员获得的许多工作都涉及为阿富汗政府以及本地和国际初创公司和公司提供服务。

For example, their teams build and maintains web apps for Human Resources departments and other back office functions.

例如，他们的团队为人力资源部门和其他后台功能构建和维护Web应用程序。

And in the process, they get to work with exciting new tools like Vue.js and Laravel.

在此过程中，他们可以使用令人兴奋的新工具，例如Vue.js和Laravel。
