Join us to learn about different selector types, how to apply styles your page and why all of this matters! You'll also get to try styling a web page with CSS yourself! (With support from our awesome mentors of course!)

There will be lots of guidance and support for those with no coding experience so come join the fun! No coding experience necessary (we mean that!)

• What we'll do
Bob Wakefield will talk about SparklyR, a package that interfaces R with Spark. I'm not familiar with Spark, but according to one website it is a "cluster computing tool that enables analysis of massive, distributed data across dozens or hundreds of servers". So bring your cluster with you for this meeting.

Howard will talk about sentiment analysis. I've not done sentiment analysis yet, but I do know that it is a text mining tool that classifies text entries by their sentiment (positive, neutral, or negative).

Both talks represent topics that have been in high demand by our users. It should be a great meeting.

I should remind all our beginning users of R that you are also welcome to attend any of our advanced topic meetings. An advanced topic does not mean that only Stephen Hawking can understand it. It means that the talk is on a specialized topic that shows the breadth of problems that R can tackle. Beginners topic meetings (held more or less every other meeting) are on topics that are foundational and that every R user needs to know about.

Please start thinking about speakers and topics for our March meeting (tentatively a beginners topic meeting) and our April meeting (tentatively an advanced topics meeting).

DESCRIPTION

Wednesday, February 7, 2018 at 5:30:00 PM Garmin International 1200 E 151st Street, Olathe, KS

Abstract:

Tired of fancy abstractions without actual down to earth implementation? In this talk we will go through both benefits and problems by implementing a real example of event-sourced model. This is a full-time live coding example and we will develop features using event sourcing. We are going to tackle the problems step by step in both solutions from various perspectives. From the point of view of the stakeholders our software should have quick time to market, ability to do complex data reporting and fast way to extend and to deploy new features. On the other hand, our fellow developers would be interested in learning curve when it comes to event sourcing and how it differs in turns of e.g. unit testing. At the end of each step it will be clear what kind of problems/benefits we have using one of two models. The talk is going to cover a broad set of buzzwords like: event sourcing, CQRS, distributed systems, spring cloud stream, eventual consistency, unit testing and zero downtime deployments.

A Piece of Cake - C# powered cross platform build automation

Have you ever wanted to create a build script for your application, but been faced with learning a new language, or DSL, or writing more XML than any person should ever need to? Have you ever wanted to create a build script that will work cross platform? Have you ever wanted to create a build script that has first class support for the most common build tools like XUnit, WiX, SignTool, and many others? Have you ever wanted to create a build script that uses a language that you already know, and love?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then the Cake ( http://cakebuild.net/ ) Build Automation System is for you!In this session we will start with a standard .Net Solution and incrementally add a build and orchestration script to compile the application, run unit tests, perform static analysis, package the application, and more, using the C# skills that you may already have.

Please join us for an evening of looking at the exciting past month of PHP news and learning about interesting concepts and projects in PHP and software development.

Light refreshments will be provided. Join us to meet new people, discuss PHP, and learn something new.

Our Evening Meeting Format

We love Web Development and all things PHP. Our meetings are often a little free-formed, but we shoot for this schedule:

6:00pm - Mingling / Meet and Greet

6:15pm - Lightning Talk: Last Month in PHP

6:30pm - TBA

Your topic here? Contact us to speak (http://www.meetup.com/kcphpug/suggestion/)!

Rate the talks!

All Developers Welcome!

We understand Web Developers often come from all backgrounds, and many work in more languages than PHP. Whether you're curious and just starting out, dabble in PHP on the weekends, write custom PHP on a daily basis, work in a framework like Symfony, Zend Framework, Silex, Slim, Laravel, CakePHP or customize CMS products like WordPress, Drupal or Joomla; our goal is that you will find something new, useful and thought provoking.

Interested in giving a presentation to the group, or demoing something you're working on? Contact one of the organizers through Meetup or talk after a monthly meeting to sign up!

Tuesday, January 30, 2018 at 6:00:00 PM VML 250 Northwest Richards Road, Kansas City, MO

Wednesday, February 7, 2018 at 5:30:00 PM Homer's Coffee House 7126 W 80th St. , Overland Park, KS
