Open Tech Calendar

Show and Tell Social

After the continued success of the show-and-tell sessions we'll be meeting again for another in November.

So far we've had wonderful demonstrations of live coding systems for education, deterministic game character generation, realtime analysis techniques for modelling signals, projection-mapping, code hygiene analysis, an introduction to manipulating visuals with Tooll3, generating 3D terrain images of the UK from open data, convolution cellular automata, breathing life into an ancient plotter, an introduction to VJing with Touch Designer, AI generated music videos that worked with the beat, a web-based guitar tutor aid, raved to an amazing jungle live coded music performance, explored the mathematics of infectious diseases through the analogy of a card game, played colour games with AI, explored visual programming languages and more. It's been huge fun and there was lots to experience and learn. I'm expecting this month to be just as exciting.

This will take place upstairs in the Rutland Arms. Please ask at the bar for directions. We have the upstairs room exclusively booked out for us to use to share and talk about the projects we're planning or working on.

If you have something to show or share with us, please do bring it along. We have a projector and a speaker for you to use.

Also, if you're just curious and want to see what others are doing - there's absolutely no pressure to show anything - just come along.

The core idea is to draw inspiration from, encourage and ultimately learn from each other. No project is too basic or too sophisticated - we welcome it all.

There's no formal format for this event - it will very much be adhoc and unconferency. However, if you do have something you'd like to show and have any questions - feel free to reach out to me beforehand and Ill help you in any way I can.

Note that you'll be able to bring drinks from the bar upstairs as well as order food should you fancy that.

Really looking forward to seeing what you're all creatively coding!

Creative Coding Social #9

Another friendly social - come along meet fellow creative coders and share thoughts and ideas!


This is a Sheffield-based group for everyone interested in the creativity of code.

We are not just programmers, we're also artists, educators, practitioners and hobbyists working with or near code for creative reasons.

Creative coding comes in many shapes and forms such as using code to make music, generate visual arts, design new wearable tech-fashion, explore literature, or to engage the next generation of programmers within the classroom.

Whether you're a seasoned creative coder, have just starting your coding adventure or are simply curious about creative coding we welcome you with open arms.

This group is just getting started and the initial plan is to discover each other and to meet regularly once a month in Sheffield where we can share ideas, learn from each other and to create a nurturing support group.

Startup Meetup Sheffield: After-work Drinks - SIAN

Join us for the monthly Startup Meetup Sheffield, the flagship networking event for entrepreneurs, founders, and anyone interested in startups in Sheffield. From 5-7pm, come along to the Rutland Arms pub for a relaxed and informal networking session with like-minded individuals.

With longer days upon us, we're excited to head back to the pub for a chance to connect with others, share ideas, and get inspired to take your startup to the next level. And of course - get a drink!

Startup Meetup Sheffield has been running successfully since June 2021. At the meetup, we've seen co-founders find each other, entrepreneurs and investors connect, and people get inspired to build their businesses. What will your Startup Meetup Sheffield story be?

(def shef 41) Lean Coffee

Everything is better when it's lean, even coffee and functional programming.

We'll try the lean coffee format at at (def shef 41)... bring your own agenda! Anything you want to talk about, whatever your experience with functional programming. The broader range of topics the better!

Where and When? Rutland Arms, upstairs room - I'll be there from 18:30 and we'll kick off properly at 19:00, rocking up early or late is fine.

What do I need? Nothing - just bring yourself.

Join the #def_shef channel on the Sheffield Digital slack to keep up to date and talk to other functional programming enthuiasts

(def shef 40) More Monad Challenges

We had a look at the The Monad Challenges in August's (def shef 38). They're a thought-provoking set of problems to solve, designed to help you "discover" monads rather than teach them to you.

We enjoyed the last session and so we're revisiting! The Monad Challenges are written in Haskell, but I think you could have a go in other functional languages too.

(def shef) is open to all, beginners and experts alike. If you're new to functional programming, we'd love you to come along and wel'll help you get started!

We thank Sky Betting and Gaming for kindly sponsoring this event. One of the Sunday Times' Top 100 companies to work for, based in Leeds and Sheffield, there are all sorts of roles available now.

Bring a laptop if you want to get hands-on.

ShefTest - Social Engineering

Suddenly July is upon is... It's time for another Test Gathering!

Still riding the wave of SteelCon, security is at the front of everybody's mind right now. We know all about securely creating and storing passwords. And the importance of firewalls, input sanitation and 'Little Bobby Tables'. Some of us might even know all about SSL, TLS, SNI and RSA... But what about the most complex and yet most vulnerable bit of any computer system? The organic component that pushes the buttons!

At this month's meetup we'll be exploring some of the different methods that certain unsavoury characters might use to get you to part with your precious passwords. And Razor's very own unsavoury character, Gabriel 'Gabz t3h h4kzor' McNeilly will be demonstrating some of his favourites.

Upstairs in the Rutland as usual. Doors at 6:30pm. Talk kicks off at 7. Hopefully followed by beers and lively debate.

Hope to see you there.

ShefTest - March 2017

Kicking things off for 2017, I'll be presenting a very basic 'How to get from nothing to something with Selenium Webdriver'. Automation is always a popular topic, and I know everyone always enjoys watching me flap my way through a live demo.

There'll be a short beer break and then 3squared's Alex Bennell will be talking about Test Estimation, another contentious topic (but aren't they all). This will hopefully devolve into the usual lively debate and open floor discussion.

And the important details - As it's the first one of the year, there will be a bar tab!

Doors at 6:30pm. We'll be kicking the talks off at 7pm.

Hope to see you all there.

ShefTest November - Tools and Tech

What tools do you use to help your daily testing? It could either be something you've built or a product or service that you use. Whether it's a tool, a framework, a handy script you wrote yourself or even just a couple of chrome plugins that you think are really useful. If you've got something that makes your life a little bit easier then we'd love to hear about it.

You don't need to be an expert or a sales rep. But if you're one or both then that's OK too. You can talk for 5 minutes or as long as you need.

If you've got something that you would like to share then just drop me a line.

Doors open at 6:30pm. Talks start at 7.

If you have any trouble spotting a table full of web developers just send a tweet to the @sheffield_js Twitter account and we'll come find you. Everyone is welcome, so come and meet your friendly local JavaScript community over a drink or two :)
