Vadodara has a long running developer group in GDG Baroda, which holds an annual DevFest with sessions on AI, Android, Flutter, cloud and web, and has also run ethical hacking meetups and Women Techmakers talks. HackBaroda is a state level 12 hour hackathon held in the city, and Parul University hosts its own hackathon too.
A learner studying online can treat DevFest as a chance to hear Google Developer Experts and ask practical questions about the tools covered in class. HackBaroda works well as a short, intense test of what you can actually build. Both events put you in front of local engineers and startup founders, which is often how mentoring relationships and job leads start in a mid sized city.
Independent community groups, listed for reference. They are not run by or affiliated with WebAsha.
