Page Builders allow non-developers to create unique and attractive layouts for most WordPress websites.
Claudia Kirkwood of SuperSimpleWebsites has been using Page Builders for several years, particularly BeaverBuilder and will illustrate the pros and cons of using them. She will also compare their functionality with the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) and how they will fare in the future.
If you are using (or thinking of using) Page Builders for your website, then this is the talk for you.

Our normal format is 30 minutes of socialising with food and drink, followed by coding.
We welcome students from any underrepresented group to come along, whether you want to learn the basics, if you have a goal to become a full time developer, or if you just want to have fun trying out a new skill.
We also welcome developers (from any background) who want to support the growth of a diverse tech community by volunteering as coaches. Coaches encourage students, help them understand programming concepts and share their experience and knowledge. -

Hi all,
This month's meeting will feature:
CREATIVE PEOPLE NEED DATA!
Nicola Osborne (#CreativeInformatics, University of Edinburgh) with a reprise of her Edinburgh Fringe Festival Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas show.
Nicola reckons data-driven technologies are inspiring new and unexpected opportunities for creative people and organisations to think about what they do, how they do it and how they make a living from doing what they love.
Data will shape media, performance, crafts, whole new cultural experiences and forms of value. Do you agree? Do you know what data-driven technologies are? Is this all promising too much? Bring wild ideas, questions or your (data-driven) heckles!

Talk 1 Greg Fousas - "Make any company an AI company!"
AI and Machine Learning have become must-haves for almost all industries and companies. H2O.ai's goal is to help companies all over the world to use Machine Learning. H2O.ai's toolset starts from full opensource packages in R, Python and Spark and extends to a fully automated platform for building predictive models, the Driverless AI!
Greg is a data scientist with work experience that spans more than 20 projects, 15 brands, 5 industries and 5 countries and still counting! He studied Production Engineering and Management, he has a MSc in Operational Research from the University of Edinburgh and studied a bit of Cognitive Science. Recently he completed a self driving car nanodegree. Greg also runs an amateur online Python course entitled “your 10 minutes of Python per day” and is happy to be able to call Scotland home.

This month's talk is brought to you by JB
Unlock the power of the terminal on Android via Termux!
Learn how your phone/tablet can be used as a full programming environment (editor, compilers, git...), back-up your phone to your computer over Wifi using standard UNIX tools, and create customized scripts that interact with Android's native menus and file-sharing capabilities.
The talk targets both beginners, for whom Termux is an easy way into the Linux command-line world; and advanced users, who can use Termux to configure (break) their systems in more creative ways.
About the speaker:
JB is a developer spending way too much time in the terminal
already, and found out one day that his phone has one too.
Meeting at 7pm, for a tentative talk start at 7:15pm

Some say that he can answer any question before it’s even been asked it, and that he has already written the next 5 version of C# in Depth, the books are apparently locked in a Redmond vault and will be used to create the official specifications. All I know, is that he’ll be in Aberdeen on 2nd October and you’ll not want to miss this Meetup!
That’s right we have Jon Skeet coming to Aberdeen on Wednesday 2nd October to talk, in depth, about C#8! And with .NET Core 3.0 launching just days before at .NET Conf, the 3 day virtual event co-organised by the .NET community and Microsoft, there will be plenty to talk about at this meetup so you'll hopefully be able to join us.
Also thanks to our sponsor, Brightree, you can grab a drink and few slices of pizza so make sure you turn up on time, and of course if you have any special dietary requirements please send me a message and let me know.

The most productive and innovative organisations are those that can navigate uncertainty most effectively. The fundamental uncertainty that we encounter is uncertainty around human behaviour. How can we be certain that a person, or a team, or an organisation will behave in a particular way? How can we shift mindsets to be more certain of our intended outcomes? How can we become more certain of our own behaviours, so we can show up authentically, instead of always feeling like impostors?
The conventional approach to working with behavioural uncertainty is trying to minimise it by using apparently objective approaches such as psychometric tools or behavioural inventories. Although these seemingly objective approaches may provide the comfortable illusion of behavioural predictability, the reality is that they are poor predictors of behavioural outcomes.
Rather than working with these invalidated and unreliable tools, it is far more effective to validate our perspectives and rely on our... -
The group meets over pizza and beer or soft drinks, ranging and rambling chat, in addition to interesting and informative talks.
In June we have a talk about App development workflows, for web developers, using Flutter and Dart. Flutter is an open-source mobile application development framework created by Google. It is used to develop applications for Android and iOS. Dart is a client-optimized programming language for fast apps on multiple platforms. It is developed by Google and is used to build mobile, desktop, backend and web applications. Dart is an object-oriented, class defined, garbage-collected language using a C-style syntax.
The group is diverse, welcoming, sociable, relaxed, irreverent, informative and fun. -
Queer Code Scotland is a new meetup bringing together LGBTQ+ people who work in the technology industry, or who are studying to get there.

- Ali King, Data Engineer
- Andy Herd, Data Engineer at FanDuel
- Kate Ho, Former Head of Product (Data Platform) at Sainsburys Bank
Code of conduct: queer-code.org
Food and drink will be provided, and there will be a chance to chat and network before and after the talk. Thanks to FanDuel for hosting us and providing the refreshments! -

As big codebases age they often struggle to keep up with changes to programming languages and package development.
New language features can't be easily adopted, and packages are often stuck on an old version due to a backwards-incompatible change. Fixing this requires large scale refactoring which can often take hundreds of hours. Why not automate it?
In this talk we'll look at Rector, a PHP refactoring tool that automates hundreds of different refactorings. We'll look at different use cases, writing our own refactorings, and even converting an entire project from one framework to another! -

Having postponed our July MeetUp we expect you have lots of questions lined up for our workshop/helpdesk session.
Bring your laptop and your WordPress questions... someone will either have the answer for you or know someone else who does.
And you may have a solution for somebody else! We're all learning so don't think that everyone else knows more. You may have just the expertise that someone is looking for. -
We'll be meeting at Six Degrees North, on Howe St at about 6:30pm. There *should* be Python logo printouts on the table if you need to find us.
There's *no minimum skill level* for coming along! If you like talking about Python or related technologies, and you're interested in meeting like-minded people and finding out what they're up to, just turn up! If you'd like to be introduced to some people, ask for me - Mark Smith - and I'll be happy to introduce you to some people with similar interests. -
Morning Lean Coffee (leancoffee.org) to discuss our Lean and Agile ideas and challenges. Stickies and sharpies will be provided.
Arrive at 7:45, grab a coffee and we'll get started at 8.
This month will be facilitated by Paula. Look forward to seeing you there.
