Learn how to use Git, a distributed version control system, for free. Pioneered by Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, Git is a fast, easy and widely used way to manage your code and collaborate.
GitHub is a web platform for hosting source code with Git. They complement each other nicely and make writing code a whole lot less painless.

Who Should Attend
Anyone who works with code, really! If you aren't using version control, you're doing it wrong. If you are using SVN, then I apologize in advance. What I will be covering is not at all language or platform specific. Git commands and workflows apply to any language!
