Meetup and Codewars

[Sam Joseph]

Hi MOOCers,

I was just chatting with Anish on LinkedIn and invited him to the Makers graduation next Friday:

http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/makers-academy-open-day-and-graduation-tickets-16973164191?aff=erelexporg

I had been thinking that a makers academy graduation might be a good place to catch up - all welcome.

I probably can't stay out late drinking this coming Friday as I'm just recovering from a bout of pneumonia, but we do have graduations every 6 weeks.   Our students present their projects - all over in about 45 minutes and then there's buffet and drink and stuff and a nice chance to have a chat.

I invited Pete Skead to one the other week, but was then off sick.  Come along again Pete and I promise not to miss this one, health issues permitting :-)

See you guys at this or future graduation - I can give you a tour or our offices.

BTW, I'm having a lot of fun on codewars recently:

I just completed a binary genetic algorithm in ruby:

which got me thinking about Andrew Ng's machine learning course again, and I have half a mind to take the NN challenges from that course and slap them into codewars along with some chatbot stuff - "that's what she said!" anyone? :-)

There's something about codewars that I'm finding quite addictive and more enjoyable than a MOOC - I think one key thing is that after you complete a solution you can see all the other solutions that people have attempted - there's great learning there.

Anyhow, hope you're all well and looking forward to catching up with you soon.

CHEERS> SAM

Hi MOOCers,

For any of you considering coming to the Makers graduation tonight, I
just wanted to let you know that I may not make it for health reasons.

There will of course be another graduation in 6 weeks on July 10th,
which might be a better chance of having a chat with me.

Of course you are more than welcome tonight to see the latest student
projects and network with the Makers crowd, just that unfortunately I
may not make it :-(

Hope to see you soon
CHEERS> SAM
