UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, THIS MEETING WILL BE HELD ONLINE WITH DISCORD: https://discord.gg/wmFHB7y

Open to anyone in the area who is interested in developing video games. In order to have a little structure, we'll try to do a couple things each week:

Introduce new members. What have you worked on, game related or not? What do you want to work on next?

Discuss this week's conversation starter. Some article, video or game that we can dig into a little.

Members can present any games they're working on, for feedback or just to brag.

Of course, it's all very informal. The main goal is interesting conversation(s) about our passion.

Looking forward to it!

When military personnel return home from service, they often find themselves asking: 'What now?' For these Flatiron School grads, the answer was transitioning to a new career in tech.

Tune in for a casual panel discussion between service members who chose to start their next chapter at Flatiron School. Topics of conversation will include what appealed to them about a tech career, why a bootcamp was right for them, and how they managed the transition back to school and civilian life.

Presentation Description:

Error is a massive pain in the ass. Most data scientists take the high road …and just ignore it. Eduardo has chosen a different road, the low road, and made it his life's mission to ground, pound, and spit in error's big stupid face. This session will be very good at being a bad personal collection of Eduardo's thoughts, findings, failures, and hail marys that will feel more like a feverish haze of experiences while working at Amazon, federal, and commercial sectors. We'll cover some common and uncommon places where error rears its ugly head. Topics will range from non-technical survey design (Eduardo's passion), ops research framing, to more quant heavy considerations for data types/scales, and even introduce complex methodological techniques and approaches. But, like… in a cool way.

Speaker Bio:

Eduardo is, first and foremost, a big data nerd. Secondly, a recovering data scientist. Currently, a global data director. Also, a public speaker, ex-Amazon, psychologist-by-training, wannabe statistician, AI & university board member, and may or may not have worked for "certain government agencies" in Wash, DC. He prides himself on being able to talk tech good to non-tech folk. The baldness is a choice. The speech impediment is not. The irony is free.

Intended audience/level:

Medium-rare

Join us online for the next book we will be reading in the KC Tech Book Club! We will be reading Production-Ready Microservices by Susan Fowler.

From Amazon: "One of the biggest challenges for organizations that have adopted microservice architecture is the lack of architectural, operational, and organizational standardization. After splitting a monolithic application or building a microservice ecosystem from scratch, many engineers are left wondering what's next. In this practical book, author Susan Fowler presents a set of microservice standards in depth, drawing from her experience standardizing over a thousand microservices at Uber. You'll learn how to design microservices that are stable, reliable, scalable, fault tolerant, performant, monitored, documented, and prepared for any catastrophe.

Explore production-readiness standards, including:
Stability and Reliability: develop, deploy, introduce, and deprecate microservices; protect against dependency failures
Scalability and Performance: learn essential components for achieving greater microservice efficiency
Fault Tolerance and Catastrophe Preparedness: ensure availability by actively pushing microservices to fail in real time
Monitoring: learn how to monitor, log, and display key metrics; establish alerting and on-call procedures
Documentation and Understanding: mitigate tradeoffs that come with microservice adoption, including organizational sprawl and technical debt"

Amazon Link:
https://www.amazon.com/Production-Ready-Microservices-Susan-Fowler/dp/1491965975/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=production+ready+microservices&qid=1597592946&sr=8-3

Feel free to still come if you haven't read the book or just read parts of it or read it years ago and can't remember anything about it. It will be a very laid-back discussion format.

Looking to understand core concepts of cybersecurity? Join us for an overview of one of these pillars: Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI).

Threat intelligence, knowledge that allows analysts and engineers to target their security efforts, plays a crucial role in the world of cybersecurity. With threat intelligence, knowledge is power.

Sayyed, one of Flatiron School's Online Cybersecurity Analytics cohort leads, will guide us through this workshop, covering:

+ What is Cyber Threat Intelligence? Plus, examples of recent cyberattacks and how CTI adds value

+ The Threat Intelligence Lifecycle, including CTI tools, techniques and procedures

+ How CTI skills apply to various cyber security teams, including SOC, incident response & digital forensics, vulnerability management, and many others

+ CTI Analytics Frameworks, like Cyber Kill Chain, Diamond Model, and MITRE ATT&CK

This event is beginner-friendly, so no prior cybersecurity experience is required to attend. We'll reserve time at the end to answer your questions – about both CTI and navigating a career in cybersecurity.
