Looking to get my feet wet. What are the main events to attend?

Where are the coworking/spaces everyone congregates?

Who are the people I should connect with?

Trying to figure out how to become more specialized and technical.

What are some skills I should acquire or areas I should study?

6+ years of marketing experience and a BS in IT.

Itching to become more technical or figure out what paths I can take my skills.

What are some of my options in terms of learnings that can help me stand out more ie: a masters degree, technical skills, online courses?

I know this is broad. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hey HN,

I'm a former front end guy turned biz dev. I've come to realize I can't stand not being able to do a lot of the work myself so I've decided to go to school. I've heard amazing things about Hackbright but it's women only. I've also considered going to General Assembly for Front End Development.

What schools are good as far as quality? I know it's all fully dependent on the instructor you receive but are there any in particular that stand out?

Hey HN

What are some of your fav. spots for hanging out, working and meeting with likeminded hackers in the valley? Is the Creamery still a fav. hangout spot in SoMa?

What is HN's preferred method of finding funding and revenue data on startups. For example, how can I find the funding and revenue data for crowdtilt.com?

I would like to know if there are any spreadsheets I can use which have prefilled cap table calculations to help me determine equity distribution to investors and advisors during the seed round.

For example, say you determined to give out 15% equity for your seed funding but you are obtaining the total amount of funding from multiple investors, what can I use to assist me in making sure that I do not give up too much equity to each investor.

HN what are your recommended law firms to deal with for DC area startups?

Are barcodes/UPC codes that are placed on food items and grocery store products centrally managed by the store they are purchased from or are they all unique identifiers to a specific product carried by a specific store and maintained by a third party?
