An introduction to using Gutenberg blocks to create WordPress pages and blog posts.

Lisa Savoie is a freelance web designer & developer. She started LS Codes about a year ago to help small business create or improve their websites. She has used Gutenberg blocks on NPO projects in which the client will need to maintain the site themselves. Creating reusable blocks allows them to create and update pages while keeping within the style guide set for the site.

This is posted on behalf of our friends at Angular KC! Link to their event is here: https://www.meetup.com/angularkc/events/268826833/

------------------------
At this event, we will hear from a member of the RxJS Core Team, Jan-Niklas Wortmann, as well as hold an open discussion on topics and questions related to RxJS.

------------------------
RxJS is getting more popular every day. The amount of downloads from the public registry is insane, with around 50 million downloads per month. Everyone that already uses RxJS knows that the added value of RxJS mostly comes from the provided operators. These operators enable us to develop complex scenarios in a fairly comprehensible manner.
Right now RxJS already provides over 100 different operators and it is also possible to extend this huge list by developing custom operators.

But wait, do you actually know how operators are internally structured? How is this magic piece of code developed that brings so much power? Everyone uses RxJS operators on a daily bases, but no one really knows about the internals of it! Within this talk, we will take a deep dive into the internals of RxJS to understand how operators are developed. This will first make us understand how these operators work and second enables us to write our own operators to fully embrace the power of RxJS.

-- Jan-Niklas Wortmann is a self-employed IT consultant mostly working on Angular projects. He helps companies in designing and implementing large scaled applications. Developing clean and maintainable code is one of his main goals. Due to his passion for the Community, he is a member of the RxJS Core Team and organizer of the NgNiederrhein Meetup.

Hello fellow testers!

Now that the winter is (almost) over, let's get together and celebrate it along with learning something new from each other!

This round we will not have a formal presentation, the discussion will be happening in the Lean Coffee format (see definition at the bottom).
Bring your thoughts, ideas, questions, problems and let's discuss.

Come join us for a relaxed evening, make a new friend, meet a mentor, learn something new.
Snacks and drinks will be provided!

We have multiple positions currently open at VMLY&R in our Automation of Quality Practice, please reach out if you are interested or attend the event if you want to learn more.

** From the Lean Coffee website: "Lean Coffee is a structured, but agenda-less meeting. Participants gather, build an agenda, and begin talking. Conversations are directed and productive because the agenda for the meeting was democratically generated."

She'll demo writing and deploying both JavaScript and WebAssembly applications quickly and easily to Cloudflare's 200+ global PoPs, as well as plans for her team's efforts to enable what she's currently branding as an "edge-first" future.

Agenda:
5:30 - food and networking
6:00 - kickoff / Special Announcement from DevOpsKC Organizers
6:15 - Ashley Williams from Cloudflare
7:15-8 - Q/A / open conversation
