REST is dead, long live GraphQL!
If you’ve ever been frustrated by a REST API because the data came back in an uncomfortable format, or you weren’t able to ask for exactly what you need, then GraphQL is for you! Come hear Robert Ward give his talk “REST is dead, long live GraphQL!”
Do you have a budding datacenter/maker space in your garage?
Does your bonus room need its own cooling to keep up with the numerous heat sources of your hobbies? Is one Oscilloscope ever the right number? Come hear Ken Moini give his talk: Home labs: Gambling between a Christmas Card from the Power Company, or a surprise DEA Bust
Website creation that fast, beautiful, simple and .. secure??
Come hear Dennis Stepp’s talk: “Let’s Get JAMming: An introduction to static site generators”. “In under an hour you can build your blog, project documentation, or even a very basic eCommerce site. ” The talk will be accompanied by several demonstrations. Even if you don’t make sites yourself, the next time you get that dreaded “You know about computers! – How should I build a website?” Then you will know. (.. and knowing is half the battle 😉 )
Give the kids a soldering iron…
Wanting to know how things work is not just an adult hacker trait. For the third year in a row we will be equipping kids accompanied by a responsible adult with a soldering iron and let them assemble a little kit they can be proud of. We only have a set number of tickets for the children’s slot and then they are gone. If you have a budding young curious enthusiast; why not bring them and let them join in the fun of our kids track on Saturday? Ideally they will probably get the most out of the track if they are 8 yrs of age or older. Why should we teach kids how to solder? Maybe the right question is why not?
