I have helped numerous libraries create their own programs for 20-30somethings, including speaking at conferences, presenting webinars, and being invited to speak at programmers' meetings. I am the chair of the RAILS networking group for 20s and 30s Programmers. I am also one of the moderators of the Facebook group Millennial Programming Ideas.
Below are a few webinars I’ve offered on the topic of programming for 20-30somethings.
