August & September

[Guy Royse]

Next meetup is August 30th @ 7pm. We have Jay Harris speaking on Grunt

Dethroning Grunt: Simple and Effective Builds with Gulp

Grunt is king. It is the ubiquitous task runner used for most nodejs projects and has quickly expanded to conquer other software ecosystems. However, its kingdom is vulnerable. Grunt does not align well with many nodejs paradigms and is notorious for its harsh learning curve. Meet Gulp, the challenger in the taskrunner revolution. Gulp’s easy configuration produces an easy learning curve, and its alignment with nodejs paradigms eliminates the friction. Grab your ticket, your foam finger, and your team-colored face paint and witness the battle, the revolution, and the crowning of Gulp.

The deck is already online, too: https://speakerdeck.com/jayharris/dethroning-grunt-simple-and-effective-builds-with-gulp-dot-js

JavaScript Hardware Night

On Wednesday, September 17th, we are having a JavaScript Hardware Night. Bring your JavaScript powered hardware projects and share them with the group (if you like). Bring stuff to hack on and bring your ideas.

- Scott Preston will be bringing his robots.

- Doug Reeder is planning something with the Connect SDK.

- I plan on sharing my work with Johnny Five, the Arduino, and Raspberry Pi.

- Keith McCanless might even have a JS Hardware talk prepared (hint, hint) around the Beaglebone.

The format will be loose. People who want to share their ideas will be given a screen to do it on. If you just want to hack, then pair up with some buddies and have at it.

See y'all there.

Thanks,

Guy

Yes. Yes I do.

Thanks for catching it.

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all, 

By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul; 

But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy, 

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."

Hint taken.  I will do Beaglebone show and tell.
