Show Notes
Hot Girls Code is kicking off a new series: Exporing Tech Jobs! The tech industry is filled with many different roles that neither of us had heard about before we started so we're going to be exploring a range of different technical roles throughout this season. To start us off, we're going to dig into the role we both do: software developer! We’ll be chatting about the day-to-day of the role, what we like, what we find challenging, how you become a software developer, and so much more!
New episodes come out fortnightly on Wednesday morning (NZT).

Whether or not you work in a technical role, you’ve probably heard of APIs! But what exactly are APIs? In this episode, we explain what an API is, what they are used for, and how HTTP comes into it. Finally, we finish up by giving a brief overview of the different API protocols out there - from REST, to SOAP, to GraphQL! And in true Hot Girls Code style, we bring the tech to life with fun, relatable analogies featuring two of our favourite spots: restaurants and makeup stores.

This week on Hot Girls code, we are joined by Zelle, an expert on augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and extended reality (XR)!

Join us as she breaks down what XR really is, explains the fundamental building blocks of the technology, and shares how you can get started. We also dive into the future of XR and, of course, how we can help keep this space diverse and inclusive!
