NWRUG’s May 2024 Meeting

[North West Ruby User Group (NWRUG)]

NWRUG’s May 2024 meeting will be on 16 May from 6.30pm to 8pm. (The meeting starts at 7pm.)

This time, the lovely folks at Chroma Recruitment are hosting us in their offices on Booth Street. All the venue and registration details are below.

Agenda

What to do when you’ve been hit by a tornado

Brandon Burton says:

Tornadoes are incredibly violent, destructive forces of nature. They are rapid, rotating columns of air that form in a thunderstorm, typically a supercell. What happens when your home is hit by that terrifying vortex of wind? Over the 2023 Christmas period, that’s what happened to me. As I started to work towards fixing my home and returning to normality, I realised that all I was doing was solving a problem, not unlike any other scary problem we face as developers. Through sharing my story I hope to convey a perspective that we can all use when we’re faced with stressful and seemingly complex software problems where success may seem far away and consequences immediately close.

Afterwards

When the talks end, we'll decamp to a local pub for food, drinks and chats with your fellow attendees.

Of course, this is the socialising part and seems more informal. Please remember that it is part of the meeting and covered by our code of conduct.close.

Hi folks, it’s almost time!

Tomorrow evening Brandon Burton will be explaining what you should do when a tornado hits your house (with a bit about software development along the way…) 

We’ll be at the Chroma Recruitment offices on Booth Street from 6:30pm and the talk will start 7pm prompt.

If you are planning on attending do register so we get a sense of numbers.

Full details over on our website as well as our code of conduct.

Any questions let me know,

Tekin

Looking forward to welcoming NWRUG to the Chroma office this evening, I have attended some meet ups in years gone by with John Cleary, so I may see some familiar faces!  Tim
