πTalk 1: "Organising chaos: Adapting architectures to deal with anything!" by Ryan Anderson
We often see blog posts about the hottest new mobile architecture, promising to be the answer to all our problems. How should you choose? We'll talk about the challenges of architecting a really complicated screen such as a chat as a way of illustrating the process for any app!
About me: I'm the Lead Engineer at Flick, I've spent a lot of the last few years building mobile chat experiences that scale and are easy to use!

πTalk 2: "The User Is Just Another Input, TDD View Models using RxSwift" by Mike Velu
We'll look at how we can design our view models as functions to which the user is just an input. We'll design the public API in our tests, and eventually plug the view model into a simple list view with things like pull to refresh and error handling.
About me: Senior iOS Developer at Waracle, specialising in Rx for the last 2 years. Constantly learning, currently tinkering with Elixir & the BEAM outside of work.

The event will be hosted at the NN4M office and there will be pizza and beer provided.
We'll be welcoming people into the office from around 6.30. There'll be plenty of time to network and get to know the other members in the community around the talks. There'll also be time before the talks to have introductions and any notices regarding team ups, projects, recruitment etc.
Topics can be more technical with a focus on app development or more focused on the business/monetisation side. The event will cater to app development in general but if the content of an event will be more platform-specific we will try to announce this as early as possible to ensure you sign up for the events most relevant to you.
The event should be over by around 9.
Anyone looking to speak or suggest topics for the event do get in touch!
Our events are now also streamed on the ProductForge YouTube channel available here and can be watched on video afterwards: https://productforge.io/livestreams/

Since we're doing our main event every two months now, I'd like to use the off month for some different types of events.
This month it'll be a social night. We'll meet at a pub, have some drinks, and do a bit of guided discussion on mobile development. This is similar to something we've done before where everyone gets the opportunity to suggest topics before we narrow it down and chat about them.
Sign up to give me an idea of numbers. I'll book a table at Brass Monkey for now since it's close to the usual venue. If enough people ask to have it somewhere a little closer to town I'll move it.
