Software Craftsmanship Rogue Valley launched their MeetUp last night, with about two dozen locals traveling from both “ends” of the Valley (Grants Pass and Ashland) to attend.
The interaction began with an ice breaker: tell two truths and one lie about yourself. It’s a good bet that most participants can recall the lies before they remember the truths; some of the lies were fairly outrageous! But fun.
Sean presented the Software Craftsmanship Manifesto and fielded comments from the audience.
Activities included posting a list of what attendees hoped to get out of the meetUp:
- What tech/skills are being used/needed in today’s marketplace
- How to develop mass software
- Gaming
- More about other languages
- Share other experiences
- How to keep students in this area
- How to work with others/end users in software
- Practice presentations/talks
- Mentor-type program
Then, markers were passed out and attendees were invited to declare topics they would be willing to talk about at future meetings:
- Robotic Programming
- Go Language
- Authentication
- Machine Learning
- Software Architecture / Design Patterns
- Sharing approaches to solving commonly-encountered real-world problems
