March Meetup

The next meetup event is going to be at:

BlinkMobile

Suite 2, 125 Donnison Street, Gosford

Tuesday 26th March

6pm

Yes, this is not actually the 3rd Tuesday of the month, but better late than never.  

This month I will be giving a short talk:

Silverlight to Knockout

As a .Net Developer I have spent a few years working with WPF & Silverlight. However, over the past few months I have been exploring the JavaScript MVVM library called Knockout that shares a similar data-binding pattern with WPF/Silverlight. In this talk I will walk through the common "Task List" MVVM example using both Silverlight (with Caliburn Micro) and Knockout.  

As discussed at the last meetup we will be trialing a new shorter format this month. The aim is to start earlier, have a quick presentation followed by dinner and wind-up at around 7ish.  We will decide on what to eat on the night. If you want dinner bring along some cash to chip in. 

*Also note the change of address for BlinkMobile.

Hope to see you there.

February Meetup

The next meetup event is going to be at:

The Austrian Schnitzelhaus, Erina Fair

Tuesday 19th February

7pm

This will be the first meetup for the year and we will be having an informal get together at the Austrian Schnitzelhaus at Erina Fair.

 Hopefully we can get things organised for our first round of presentations and talks in March.  Think of some ideas that you would like to talk about or hear about and we can start planning. 

Come along and enjoy a schnitzel, a beverage (or two) and good conversation with like-minded IT Professionals.

See you there.

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.
