Lightning Talks

Thursday 17th May 7:00pm at Plant NOMA

For May's NWRUG we're having lightning talks from you, our lovely North West Ruby Community. Lightning talks are short (anything from 2 to 10 minute) talks on any topic that will be of interest to the group.

The talks this month are:

  • Zen and the art of tube amp maintenance, Alex Lynham
  • password with a capital P, Kyle Welsby
  • GDPR - what it means for a small dev team, Anna Dick
  • Class based automated integrated testing using SitePrism, Luke Hill
  • Git submodules - making them usable, Sam Phillips
  • Breaking services down with the Mad Titan, Brandon Burton

... and you? Giving a lightning talk is a great way to try your hand at public speaking, and we encourage and support first time speakers. If you're interested in giving a lightning talk this month, drop us a line at info@nwrug.org. We're very happy to help with advice on what to talk about, how to structure your talk, run a rehearsal, or anything else you might need to help you prepare and feel comfortable giving it. There is also a short advise for speakers section here on the website.
