Hi folks, This Thursday we’re not at MadLab, we're at the MadFabLab <http://fab.madlab.org.uk/>, which is a couple doors down from MadLab.
This month we’ll be doing ‘Faster than Lightning’ talks. What are ‘Faster than Lightning’ talks I hear you ask? Well they’re an idea borrowed from the folks at Unboxed <https://unboxed.co/>: a series of very short and informal talks (around three minutes each), based around snippets of code or workflow tips that you have found interesting or helpful. Each talk is then followed by a casual chat within a friendly group: Code snippets can be your code or someone else’s, in any programming language, and can be anonymised A workflow tip may take the form of a UI screenshot or terminal command of an app or tool that you use. It may even be something that irritates you and you’d like to hear about how other developers approach it There is no such thing as a snippet or tip that is too simple or too basic - you’ll be among a friendly bunch of developers of all different experience levels and specialisms Your snippet can be something that you thought was good or something that you think could be improved, or something you’re having trouble with and you would like help with The order of submissions is random and we’ll keep having presenters until we run out or 8pm, whichever is sooner For an idea of the sorts of things we're talking about, check out what the Unboxed folks have done previously here <https://unboxed.co/blog/faster-than-lightning-july-s-developer-event/> and here <https://unboxed.co/blog/faster-than-lightning-september-s-developer-event/>. So if you’d liked to take part, drop me a line with your snippet before Thursday so I can put them altogether on some slides. Full details on the website <https://nwrug.org/events/september-2017-faster-than-lightning-talks> and on MeetUp <https://www.meetup.com/North-West-Ruby-User-Group/events/242817830/>.
