Sheffield Digital Leadership Meetup brings together all kinds of folks who have a common interest in leadership. We set our job titles aside at the door; we'd like to hear everyone's voices, whether you're the CTO or a junior developer trying to make things better for your team.
This month: Bring a story about something you tried to change. What did you do, what happened, and what did you learn in the process?
While we encourage everyone to participate, we're not going to put anyone on the spot - if you're not comfortable sharing a story that's fine too.
Thanks to Chrissie Elliott for volunteering to facilitate.
Sheffield DM: Optimise Your Life - Making Data Led Decisions
Description changed:
Sheffield DM is a brand new bi-monthly digital marketing event in Sheffield. Our goal is to bring digital marketers of all experience levels, all skill sets and all interests together to share their knowledge and learn from others.
The first Sheffield Digital Marketing meet-up will play host to Molly Evans, Digital Analytics Manager at Plusnet. Molly will be discussing the foundations of analytics and what you can expect from the digital analysts you work with if you want to unlock the real magic of science.
Where do you start with a machine learning problem? What are good algorithms and what techniques can you use to get good performance? We'll take a look at a Kaggle competition to find out!
This is the third session on this Kaggle problem, so bring your best techniques! Our getting started Kernel is at https://www.kaggle.com/paulbrabban/sheffieldml-august-2018-getting-started-kernel
There's no need to wait for the session - feel free to check it out and start exploring your own solutions now! If you have any problems, we'll be happy to help - either on the day, or on the discussion forum - https://www.meetup.com/sheffieldml/discussions/
You need: A computer, and if you want to use Kaggle online kernels rather than installing software yourself, you need a Kaggle account. You are not limited to using Python - if any of our many R enthusiasts have time to port the beginner's kernel from Python to R that would be great, and post in the forum if you do!
If you're late - no problem, just come anyway.
It's an opportunity to practise and learn with other machine learning and AI enthusiasts. Let's see how well we can do!
Thanks to Razor and Sheffield Technology Parks for their continued support of Sheffield ML!

Advanced Entity Framework Techniques & Reasonable Software with Ian Johnson
Description changed:
This event will be broken down into 2 talks, Advanced Entity Framework Techniques and Reasonable Software being presented by Andrew Gunn and Ian Johnson.
*Advanced Entity Framework Techniques*
TBA
*Reasonable Software*
In a reasonable a system (i.e. a system that helps me to understand it, to reason about it) I should be able to understand how to make a change without holding the entire system in my head. I should be able to reason where the change needs to be made and reason about the impact it will have.
I want to explore what reasonable means to me, from the processes of the team all the way down to an individual block of code. Along the way, we will encounter existing frameworks, tools, and patterns that our community has developed over the years to help us to reason about our code and processes; I feel that they have often been misused and end up creating the opposite effect, adding unnecessary complexity to how we work.
*Ian Johnson*
Ian is a software developer working at Redgate, a company that develops tools for developers and database administrators.
Ian is passionate about writing maintainable code that delivers on the needs of users. Though he considers himself an introvert, Ian loves talking with other developers, learning from their experiences and sharing his own.
Outside of work, Ian is a passionate Star Wars fan and has been known to make the occasional really bad pun, but all of his code is "no-pun sourced" (sorry, couldn't resist).
Elasticsearch with David Betteridge and Web Dev with SAFE Stack with Ian Russell
Description changed:
October's session will be split into 2 talks, "Elasticsearch? do I need it? and how do I get it working with my .NET code?" by David Betteridge and "Introduction to the Web Development in F# with the SAFE Stack" with Ian Russell.
SAFE is an end-to-end, functional-first stack for cloud-ready web development that emphasizes type-safe programming in F#. SAFE is an acronym for:
Saturn - server-side web programming
Azure - cloud-based systems
Fable - Javascript-enabled applications
Elmish - easy-to-understand UI programming model
SAFE allows you to get results fast. With full support for .NET Core, including flexible cross-platform templates, and cutting-edge features like hot module reloading and shared code you can start creating full-blown applications quicker than ever before.
Come and see why I and many others are really excited about the future of web development in F#.
Ian is an experienced agile software developer with a keen interest in software craftsmanship and functional programming in F#. He is the organiser of Warwickshire.Net, a principles-focussed user group for the Warwickshire/West Midlands .Net community.
Elasticsearch? do I need it? and how do I get it working with my .NET code?
Tonight, we will look at what problems Elasticsearch solves, how to get started, and the different methods for .NET developers to load and query data. We will end the session by taking a tour of the other components in the Elastic Stack
David has been working in the software industry for the past 20 years and normally programs on the Microsoft stack, MVC, C#, F# and SQL Server. He is a co-founder of the York Developers charity and organises York's monthly Code Dojo meetup.
How to parse a file & Kotlin for the curious with Matt Ellis
Description changed:
This event will be broken down into 2 talks, "How to parse a file" and "Kotlin for the curious" both being presented by Matt Ellis.
**How to parse a file**
Yes, we're going to look at file parsing. Sounds a bit boring, right? Wrong.
In this talk, just for fun, we'll find out how to parse a file. We'll look at simple, handcrafted parsers. We'll finally figure out just how lex and yacc work. And we'll pick apart structured parsers that build abstract syntax trees as you type - ReSharper style. How is an IDEs parser different to a compiler? How do you handle sensible error recovery? What about significant whitespace?
Everything you always wanted to know about parsing a file, but were too afraid to ask.
**Kotlin for the curious**
Interested in Kotlin? And why not - it’s a pragmatic language designed to remove ceremony, solve real world problems and still feel familiar to newcomers. It can target the JVM, Android, JavaScript and native code, even running on iOS. That’s a lot of reach for a single programming language.
In this talk, we’ll go on a high level, introductory tour of Kotlin - how to get up and running, what Kotlin looks like, and how to write idiomatic, concise code - functional or object oriented. We’ll look at data classes, top level and first class functions, inlining, null safety and more, including the design decisions behind some of the language choices. We’ll see how you can build DSLs, with examples from Android and HTML, and look at how we can build multi-platform projects. And we’ll take a look at coroutines, Kotlin’s answer to C#’s async/await.
**Bio***
Matt Ellis is a developer at JetBrains, working on the Developer Advocacy team. He has 20+ years of experience shipping software, having been a developer, team lead and technical authority for companies such as BBC Worldwide, BNP Paribas and Egg, the UK’s first internet bank. During that time, he has worked with a variety of platforms and technologies, from C++ and Unix to C#, Reactive Extensions and the Web. He currently works with language tooling, having fun with abstract syntax trees and source code analysis. He owns and contributes to various open source projects, and believes in the open closed principle.
December is a time for winding down, so we'll be having some Xmas drinks at Bamboo Door and food at Aagrah (http://www.aagrah.com/).
We'll be booking a table at Aagrah so we'll need to get numbers ASAP, previous years we also required a £10 deposit per person which is taken on the final bill on the night.
We will plan to meet at the pub Bamboo Door (http://www.bamboodoor.co.uk/) then we'll head to Aagrah (http://www.aagrah.com/) for 7:30pm.
This event will be broken down into 2 talks, Log Analytics and Azure Machine Learning for Developers both being presented by Steve Spencer.
*Introduction to Log Analytics*
In a world where distributed systems are the norm and where we are building more and more things as micro-services we need a way to keep track of what is going on. We need a central place where we can collate all the information we need to diagnose any issues we have without needing to remote onto a service and look through the log files. Wouldn’t it be good if we could also write queries and create alerts so that we know when things are going wrong before our customers do? This is where Azure Log analytics comes in. This talk will introduce some of the capabilities of log analytics, show how you can query your logs and create alerts.
*Azure Machine Learning for Developers*
As a developer I wanted to get an understanding of machine learning and with the arrival of Azure Machine Learning I got my chance. This talk will go through from a developers perspective the highs and lows of machine learning. I will introduce the tools, show how easy it is to use and then talk about what us as developers can add to the process
*Steve Spencer*
Steve is an experienced .NET Developer, Microsoft Azure MVP and a Senior Solution Architect at Liberis. Steve has spoken at previous DDD events covering Microsoft Azure, Gadgeteer, Service Bus and Azure Web jobs
Steve has also appeared on channel9 also talking on Service Fabric - https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechDaysOnline/UK-TechDays-Online-September-2016/Service-Fabric-for-the-Microservices-Win-baby

20:30 - late: Migrate to a local pub for post event drinks. This is often the Rutland Arms but will be another thing decided by the group at the event! Please note that this part of the evening may not be suitable for any children to join in with but you can blame that on the attendees.
Attendance is free and the event is intended to be suitable for all levels of python experience. If you'd like to attend this meeting, it is advisable to bring a laptop. Any under 18s who wish to attend must be accompanied by an adult, preferably also with an interest in Python.

ShefTest Oct '18 - Mobile Security Testing Workshop Special!
Description changed:
After the massive success of the last 2 security based ShefTests we thought to ourselves "how are we going to top that?" Well, I think we may just have! For this months ShefTest, Jay Harris (@JayHarris_Sec) of Digital Interruption has kindly agreed to run his Mobile Security Testing Workshop and give you all the opportunity to try some hands on security testing which you can take away to use in your day to day testing!
Blurb:
"Security testing can seem like a daunting task that is best left to external contractors. In the very best case scenario, we hope that the expensive penetration test does not turn up any security issues as this is likely to delay the release.
This workshop is aimed at mobile application software testers to help understand exactly what it is a penetration tester will do and why for most vulnerabilities, a security expert is not needed. In this workshop, we will look at how security testing can be carried out on Android applications oftentimes MORE successfully by testers that know the product inside and out."
What do I need to bring?
You will need to bring a laptop (Mac or Windows) with the following programs installed prior to the session (The venue does have wi-fi but we can't guarantee it will be fast or hold up if everyone needs to download everything on the night. It'll save valuable workshop time too.).
* jadx (https://github.com/skylot/jadx/releases/tag/v0.7.1)
* drozer (http://mobiletools.mwrinfosecurity.com/Installing-Drozer/)
* burpsuite community edition (https://portswigger.net/burp/communitydownload)
* Genymotion with Android 4.4 installed (or if you have a root Android device, you can use that instead) (https://www.genymotion.com/)
* adb (https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools)
* apktool (https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/)
* Insecure Bank mobile app (https://github.com/dineshshetty/Android-InsecureBankv2)
Due to venue constraints, im afraid we only have 20 spaces available and we have to vacate at 21:00. After the workshop we'll move to the nearest pub to carry on the discussion :)
Get in quick as this is going to be a popular one! And please only sign up if you can make it as places are limited.

You own it
legup.social is free and supported by Paper, but we don't own it, you do.
No cost
There is no cost to attend, and our digital people aren’t paid.
Our digital people are busy people
While the event is free we ask that if you want to work together outside of legup.social that you agree commercially how you’re going to work together.
No cold callers
If you want to win work, or sell your products this isn’t the place for you. It’s purely for the good of the community and those people who want to offer some time for free within our network.
Don’t be scared to ask
Our mentors provide advice and guidance based on experience, but it’s ultimately up to you whether you act on (any) of it.
You're welcome any time
We encourage first timers and repeat visitors. Please pre register before attending though.
We're going to do a mix of lightning talks and a problem clinic.
If you have something that you really want to share and can talk about it in around 5 minutes, then we'd love to hear from you.
Similarly, if you've got a particular agile-stylee problem that you've been struggling to resolve and would like some help with, then you can share it with the group and between us we'll do our best to help.
So, if either of these are of interest then please send me an email - [masked]
