For more information, please visit http://columbuscodecamp.com Code Camp is a relatively new type of community event (following the Code Camp Manifesto) where developers learn from their peers. All are welcome to attend and speak. Code Camps have been wildly successful elsewhere, and were going to bring that success to central Ohio. The Code Camp follows these principles: by and for the developer community always free community-developed material no fluff only code never occur during working hours Sessions will range from lightning talks to chalk talks to more formal presentations. There will be a mix of presenters-- some will be experienced public speakers, some may be making their first-ever public presentation. We expect to see people from throughout the region and beyond. Potential Presenters If you have something you're passionate about as a developer, please share it at the Columbus Code Camp. Have a php configuration hack you love? Figured out a better way to debug linux USB drivers? Found a way to navigate a Windows registry in lisp? Got a one-liner shell pipeline that you can type by muscle memory?

Event Description: TechLife Columbus *** We are in TechColumbus Conference Room A this month, just like last month *** Meet fellow Pythonistas. Learn about the Python programming language. Share your experiences with Python and how it has helped you. Have fun! All are possible as a member of the Central Ohio Python User's Group. This month, Austin Godber will kick off our "thing of the month" quick-talks with a virtualenv how-to. If you are not using virtualenv now, you should be. Austin will show you why. Then Eric Floehr will be presenting "Building a small business/personal website with Django". There are lot of options when you want a website with things like easy content creation/editing (product pages, about pages, etc.), a blog, and maybe even Twitter status updates. Products like Wordpress, Drupal, and Plone come to mind. But you don't want to learn another new one-off app that you can't easily customize, don't want an enterprisey app, and being the Pythonista programmer that you are, you'd like it it Python and you'd like to build it yourself. That way you know all the ins-and-outs and can customize as you like. From scratch, Eric will show how to build a CMS and blog using Django and best-of-breed reusable apps, demostrating best practices that will allow you to get a site up and working in the shortest time possible (I hope to talk for less than an hour) but allow for the maximum customization in the future. I hope that you will leave the talk able to create your own personal or small business website that is powerful, customizable, and most of all, useful. Chris Folsom has volunteered to bring chips, and I'll be bringing in Tommy's Pizza (donations welcome). You'll need to bring your favorite beverage, and bring some to share! As always, we have some great O'Reilly books to check out, just please don't get pizza grease on the pages! :-) See you there!

In spite of being the most misunderstood language in the world we all have started slowing loving it. The explosion of JavaScript frameworks are also helping programmers to embrace JavaScript. But so far most of the JavaScript frameworks are focused on helping client side programming. Node.js is one of the server-side JavaScript framework that allows you write server-side JavaScript. I am very excited that Larry Myers decided to share his server-side JavaScript experience with Node.js This meetup is organized by http://www.meetup.com/The-Columbus-Polyglot-Programmers-Meetup-Group/ Abstract --------------------------- Node.js is one of the most exciting new ways develop web applications. It allows for the easy development of non-blocking, event based web applications, built on top of Google's V8 javascript engine. A brief presentation will be given on server side javascript, followed by a live demo of how to build a basic web app with node.js, and how to share code between the client and server. Bio ----------------------------- Larry Myers is a Sr. Software Engineer at MapQuest, where he leads the development of MapQuest's javascript mapping SDK. He's passionate about educating developers on how to use javascript effectively, and how to take advantage of one of the most widely used languages on the web.
