I’ve been dreaming in JavaScript for the past few weeks. Part of my training with Sabio includes “pre-work” by taking online classes in HTML, CSS and Javascript (you can take the classes yourself here). And just about the time when I wonder whether or not I’m getting it, I find myself putting my friends and errands into JavaScript functions in my dreams. Some of my friends have asked me about what coding is “like” so my impressions are as follows. HTML and CSS are cool because they are easy to learn, understand and see in action.… more

Carlos Villaseñor is a man with a vision. And when it comes to BioVideo — the company he founded in Monterrey, Mexico and then subsequently moved to San Antonio, Texas — that vision is one of growth. Already the company is growing. Whether you count the number of hospitals in which parents are able to receive a complimentary and professionally edited video of their child’s birth, or the number of features available to parents who download the BioVideo mobile app, or the number of cities outside of Texas (such as New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago) where BioVideos will become available in the near future, BioVideo is certainly growing.… more

By Catherine Mangan, DigitHaute Our *overzealous (please read: *endearing…) networking in the LA tech scene has recently spotlighted a small startup with full stack dreams – Sabio. Sabio is a developer training program born out of necessity, desire, and hope. The necessity of bringing more women and minorities into the world of technology. A desire to see a diverse workforce that’s vibrant and innovative. And a hope to uplift the communities that suffer from the highest rates of unemployment and worst educational resources to a higher socioeconomic status through technology training.… more

I’m going to become a web developer. Or learn to code, whichever euphemism you prefer, that’s what I’ll be doing as part of Sabio’s cohort from October to December. It’ll be an interesting experience, and as my dad pointed out, it’s always good to have access to more education. I’ll be documenting it here on Más Wired, so feel free to reach out with any questions or comments here on the site or even better on Twitter: @MasWired or @SaraChicaD. So, since I’ll be walking the walk, I wanted to share the reasons why I think it’s important for me to take this step.… more

According to Limbs’ website:

In early 2011, LIMBS became an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization and acquired the intellectual property and patent application related to the M1 Knee from Letourneau University.
