Open Tech Calendar

Sign Up For This Event "Web Workshop" is a monthly meet-up of people, of all skill levels and specialities, interested in web development and web technologies. The format is a little different from your typical tech meet-up, with a short introductory talk about the subject followed by a longer hands on practical workshop taking you through the nuts and bolts of the new and exciting technology and creating your very own “Wonderthing” ™ out of it. This is a great chance to learn new skills and pick up pro-tips from new and seasoned developers alike. You will get your hands on and up to speed with new and emerging technologies. The IndieWeb For the inaugural web workshop Grant Richmond will be talking about the IndieWeb. The IndieWeb is about taking ownership of your own content. In this workshop we will cover the fundamental ideas surrounding the IndieWeb and how to implement some of them. You’ll have the chance to do something most web developers rarely do – work on your own website! When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users’ data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control. What you need A laptop with a coding environment A drink (non alcoholic) Knowledge of basic web development techniques Your own domain and hosting A ticket from Eventbrite Not ready yet? If you need help setting up a suitable environment, or need to get up to speed to join in, feel free to drop into Dundee MakerSpace's open night on a Monday evening from 6.30pm. We will happily walk you through getting up to speed and ready to join in.
