I might be interested. How can I contact you? Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Fri, Jan 27, 2017 at 1:04 PM, AJ ONeal (Home)<[email protected]> wrote: Hey y’all, I’m starting a "Daplie Labs" meetup down in Provo for “Computer Sience-y” and "Internet-y Stuff”. I’m looking for potential presenters.
https://www.meetup.com/DaplieLabs/ These are the problems that I’d like to solve and the type of presentations I’d like to see: * Bring back the art of computer science - too many presos these days are about the mechanics of frameworks, which bores me (I’m old now). I’d like to see more fun, abstract presos - like Why Arrays Start at 0, Game Theory, and AI * There's a huge knowledge gap between the mechanics of the Internet and writing code. HTTP, DNS, TLS, TCP and UDP are all important. Understanding them (and other things like proxies and nat) influences the choices we make * People are still writing code and setting up systems that depend on the crippled dial-up-oriented architecture we grew up with. It’s time to take back the Internet and use it to its full potential - more peer-to-peer, less peer-to-AWS * A meetup for Provo that doesn’t get swallowed up by Lehi or SLC. Lehi is so hot right now, but Provo is also where the future is - bright UVU and BYU students thirsty for knowledge and eager to make what’s next happen Any takers?
