Thank you for your interest in participating in FutureBook’s Day of Code presented by Consonance.

As one of 40 bookselling and publishing delegates from across the book trade, supported by ~15 coaches, participants will build a real website on their own laptop using free technology. The website will showcase their own selection of book data provided by Nielsen. Participants will publish their websites to the web and can continue to develop it after the workshop. The results will be showcased the following Monday at FutureBook 19, to inspire and motivate the industry to skill up.
