I lead semi-regular walks from the Dev Bootcamp SF campus to the Mission Bay branch of the San Francisco Public Library (SFPL). SFPL membership is free and comes with a variety of resources for both learning and leisure. You do not have to be a San Francisco resident to get a library card. The trip is about a 20-minute walk each way. I’ve prepared this guide so you know what to expect.
