Westward bound

Exciting news out of our small but mighty newsroom this month: Technical.ly has officially launched daily reporting in Pittsburgh. Through the Report for America program, we've brought on PGH native Sophie Burkholder to track changes to the burgeoning tech community in western Pennsylvania.

 

Check out our first few stories, including one about a nonprofit that wants to use community wireless networks to bridge Pittsburgh’s digital divide, as well as a roundup of local coding bootcamps and a profile on a career changer who landed a software development job at PNC after participating in one of those bootcamps.
