Enter from the North doors (behind the building off the street). We're in the upstairs presentation area.
What is this event?
Come learn one-on-one from other developers as you're randomly assigned a new learning partner every 40 minutes! You and a partner will take turns mentoring each other on something you know about web development or programming your partner does not. What you and your partner discuss is fully up to you, but this is a programming user group :)
Attendees should be both willing to learn and willing to teach someone else. We understand you may not think you know something worth teaching, but don't kid yourself--you have at least something you can discuss!
6:00-6:20 - Greetings and explain event
6:20-7:00 - First learning session
7:00-7:10 - First recap
7:10-7:50 - Second learning session
7:50-8:00 - Second recap
OK, I'm still interested, tell me more!
Presentations are intriguing but some people learn better by doing and getting their hands dirty. This event lets you sit down with someone and explore a new topic while looking over their shoulder and asking questions.
Every one of us knows something other developers don't. From code-specific things, to any facet of development. Anything related to tech or development is up for discussion.
What to expect:
When you show up we'll have you write out 5 things (or more) that you know a thing or two about that you wouldn't mind teaching to another person. This list won't limit you in any way, it's just a starting point to give your partner a quick snapshot of what your strengths are. Each partner can pick one topic from the other's list (or discuss and come up with your own) to learn from the other during that session.
We will run two 40-minute sessions where you will be RANDOMLY paired with another attendee (so there's no awkwardness.) You and your partner will exchange lists of strengths and decide what to talk about. Then however you and your partner decide to divide up the rest of the time and what to talk about is up to you--but you only have 40 minutes to collaborate.
After each session we'll gather and discuss as a group what different people talked about and what you learned.
What to bring:
* Laptop (optional but encouraged)
* Ideas on what you could teach someone
* Ideas you're curious about learning
Some possible development ideas to get you thinking about what you could teach or learn about:
* Building command-line programs
* In-browser debugging tools
* Tips and tricks in your favorite CMS or framework
* Dependency injection
* Editors / IDE tricks
* Designing REST APIs
* MVC
* Database management tools
* Explore together the source code of a popular open-source library
* Composer
* git
* Customizing terminal $PS1
* Server administration
* Estimating
* Date and time processing
* Development environments
* Benchmark different approaches to the same problem
* Refactoring
* Photo processing
* Writing tests
* Programming in other languages
What's provided:
Wireless internet, power outlets, tables and chairs.
