November Meet-up

This year's final meet-up event is going to be at:

Building 2, 19 Grieve Close West Gosford
(Blink Mobile Interactive)

Tuesday 20th November

7pm

This month we have three lightning talks:

Presentation Layer Design Patterns

Presented By Scott Wallace
An introduction to presentation layer design patterns including Model View Presenter (MVP), Model View Controller (MVC) and Model View ViewModel (MVVM). It's time to separate those concerns!

AngularJS & Yeoman

Presented By Ron Waldon

Building a web app with AngularJS, google's "Superheroic JavaScript MVW" framework. Also - Yeoman, "a robust and opinionated set of tools, libraries, and a workflow that can help developers quickly build beautiful, compelling web apps".

Windows 8 Development

Presented By Ben Thomas-Brigden

Windows 8 has arrived.  Ben will share his experiences with developing apps for Microsoft's re-imagination of Windows. 

 

 

This will be the final meet-up for the year so it will be a good opportunity to learn about some interesting technologies to keep you busy over the summer.

 

We'll probably order in some pizza but we'll wait and see who turns up first.  If you want some pizza bring along some cash so you can chip in.

 

Hope to see you there.

October Meetup

The next meetup event is going to be at:

The Austrian Schnitzelhaus, Erina Fair

Tuesday 16th October

7pm

 

Unfortunately we only had a single volunteer to present at this month's meetup. Instead of our regular meeting this month we will meet for dinner at the Schnitzelhaus at Erina. 

 

We also need at least one more volunteer to present at next month's meeting which will probably be the last for the year. 

 

 

CoastNerds Needs You!

Volunteers for Presentations 

Come and tell us about an interesting project you are working on or some awesome new technology you have discovered.  Why not challenge your self to learn something new and tell us all about it?   

We cannot survive without people volunteering their time to give presentations/talks at our meetings.  They do not need to be long or use the most impressive PowerPoint ever seen.  All we are interested in is learning, sharing ideas and networking.   We have had a lot of success in recent months with one or two 20 minute presentations per meeting followed by plenty of Q&A and discussion. 

For a short time we can also offer each presenter with a 30 day Pluralsight subscription.  Pluralsight offers a huge library of online IT training videos by the best authors in the business.

If you would like to volunteer for our next meeting please contact us at coastnerds@googlegroups.com


Feedback Please - What night suits you?

Finally we would also like some feedback on what day of the week we should hold our CoastNerds meetups.  It seems we get a lot of positive feedback from members of the local community but they are unable to make it to our meetings due to various schedule conflicts.  Let us know what night would suit you best either by emailing or using the polling widget on our website.
