Chef Training Workshop

Limited to 25 Students

Opscode instructors will be presenting a free morning of introductory Chef training, transitioning to an afternoon Hack Day for Chef users of all skill levels. The morning session will cover Chef fundamentals; introducing new users to concepts and how to get started with Chef. Bring your workstation (please see requirements below) and after lunch, we'll help the new users explore hands-on introductory materials while inviting anyone who wants to come talk about Chef and hack on cookbooks or anything else, join in!

Other platforms and platform versions may work without modification. Due to time constraints we will not be able to troubleshoot issues with unlisted platforms.
