# How the event works
After we have decided on some challenges for the evening, we break into small groups (2-4 people) and see how far we can get. After about 90 minutes we get together and share what we have learnt, showing code and demo's of it in action. # Requirements
If you have a laptop with a working Clojure environment please bring it along. As we arrange ourselves into small groups, if you don't have a laptop you can still join in.
# Discussions
We’ll be discussing the meetup on the london-clojurians mailing list (http://groups.google.com/group/glasgow-clojurians-group/)
If you want to know how to run your own dojo or get an idea of what dojos are like you can read more at http://otfrom.wordpress.com/2010/10/26/faq-how-much-do-i-need-to-know-before-i-come-to-the-dojo/
# Background
Clojure is a JVM language that has syntactically similarities to Lisp, full integration with Java and its libraries and focuses on providing a solution to the issue of single machine concurrency.
Its small core makes it surprisingly easy for Java developers to pick up and it provides a powerful set of concurrency strategies and data structures designed to make immutable data easy to work with. If you went to Rich Hickey’s LJC talk about creating Clojure you’ll already know this, if not it’s well worth watching the Rich Hickey “Clojure for Java Programmers” (http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/java-jee/clojure-for-java-programmers) video or Stuart Halloway “Radical Simplicity” (http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/java-jee/radical-simplicity) video.

“SHOW AND TELL” where anybody can share what cool stuff they’ve built with the new Block Editor!
So far this is what we have in the program:
* Neil Scott will show us a Gutenberg block he has built
* The meetup organising team will tell us what WordPress has in the pipeline for the Block Editor.
Get in touch if you have done something cool with the new editor, have had a go at writing a block from scratch or have found a smart feature you’d like to share!
In the meantime, here’s a couple of WordPress community posts you may find of interest:
* WordPress Editor guide from the WordPress Support team: https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-editor/
* A proposal for the future from the WordPress Meta team: https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2019/03/08/the-block-directory-and-a-new-type-of-plugin/
* What’s new in Gutenberg, from the WordPress Core team: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/03/06/whats-new-in-gutenberg-6th-march/
This month we're meeting up to grab a drink and a chat about all things technology, hacking and infosec. All welcome!
We'll be at the stage door area. The pub is round the corner from Sauchiehall St & Charing Cross
7.30pm Stage Door Bar, the pub is usually rammed if there's a show on at the kings over the road so FYI!
NOTE:
I'll be closing the meetup group however the meetup will still happen the first Tuesday of every month, decision to close the group is mainly because meetup are billing me $100 every 6 months for the increasing size of the group. Twitter is free and I actively tweet the meetup dates and times too https://twitter.com/DC44141
Join us for a talk about acceptance testing using Robot Framework.
Mike will briefly talk about the reasons why a generic framework might be preferable, go over the setup and day to day usage with examples.
This talk will cover topics that should help you start using Robot Framework in your own project, such as setup, syntax, available libraries, advice on how to write good tests and a few pointers on
issues that you might encounter.
Big thanks to this months sponsors Inviqa and JetBrains.
We're a bunch of people with an interest in coding, some just starting out, others working. Every week we meet and work away on tutorials and projects, having some fun while we're at it!.
There's no set task to do, just whatever you fancy working on. You just need a laptop, or just come along for random chat

For our May event we’re going to give the community an opportunity to discuss the topics that matter most to them. That’s right: Lean Coffee is back.
Rather than us dictate a topic, bring along whatever questions you want answered, topics you want to discuss, and issues you feel the need to chat about. We’ll use the Lean Coffee format to cover the things that you, the attendees, want to get into the most.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re new to the industry or experienced, whether you want to ask a question about starting in IT or the ethics behind AI trade-offs, there’ll be the opportunity to engage with your peers on anything you like.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a topic, you may be able to provide valuable perspective for others, or learn something new by just listening. It also doesn’t matter if you don’t know the Lean Coffee format, it’s simple and we’ll take the time to explain it before we get started.
We discuss, demonstrate and debate how to write well-structured, malleable software
We meet on the 3rd Thursday of every month
We are a nomadic meetup: the location (within Glasgow) changes every month. We try to run in office spaces around the city, but occasionally meet in a pub; there is no expectation or pressure to drink alcohol when we do soself. We’ll explain the format (Guided Conversations), and make sure everyone keeps up with the discussion.

This month Chris Preece, an independent Agile Coach currently working with our hosts for the month Register of Scotland, will run a workshop titled Agility Rules.
Workshop
Agility Rules!
Rules are great. They can help bring order out of chaos, they establish standards, they can help people to work together effectively...
Rules are bad. They can make things chaotic, they're brittle, they can prevent people working together effectively...
Both of these can be true. So what can we do? We'll look at rules and then look at some things we can do to mould our environments around people, without being rigid or chaotic
Presenter
Chris Preece
Chris is an Agile Coach working at Registers of Scotland. He's interested in augmenting the complexity of intra and inter team workings, with data aided decisions, particularly around emergent behaviours at scale. He's coached many teams in a wide variety of organisations for over 10 years
Hosts
