Ryan wants to talk about an abomination he built to test JavaScript running on the Rhino JavaScript engine, and how an optimistic "of course you can test that, it's just JavaScript" led to a rabbit hole and lost sleep. | ||

date: 2015-06-10 | ||
address: White October, 3 The Gallery, 54 Marston Street, OX4 1LF, Oxford | ||
summary: | | ||
his month we're having a super-mega-meetup with [OxRUG](http://oxrug.org/) and the [Oxford Python Meetup Group](http://www.meetup.com/oxfordpython/) to look at open data and how we can leverage and contribute to global datasets. Open data is great in theory, but how can we go about actually using it, and what are the practical implications? Hopefully we'll find out! | ||

[Gordon Williams](https://twitter.com/espruino) will be joining us with a host of [Espruino](http://www.espruino.com/) boards, components and wizardry. We also have a couple of node-powered RC cars, some Arduino Uno boards and a collection of components, as well as a few boxes of Lego Technic to let your imagination run wild. | ||

### Who should come? | ||
Everyone! If you can write a bit of JavaScript you'll fit right in. If you know a little about electronics or Arduino then all the better, but it's not required. We'll have plenty of mentors to help and guide you throughout the day, and you've got the opportunity to hack on your own projects, play with some of the kit, or even just join a group and see what the day brings. The focus of NodeBots day is sharing and enjoying each others company. | ||
### What do I need to bring? | ||
All you'll need is your own laptop (if you don't have one, just get in touch with us in advance and we'll do our best to sort you out), and it will help if nodejs is already installed. | ||
If you have any components, devices or things you'd like to hack on bring them along! | ||
We'll have tea, coffee, snacks and drinks available throughout the day, as well as pastries in the morning and burritos for lunch. Please get in touch if you have any special dietary requirements and we'll sort you out. | ||
### Who do I thank? | ||
Mostly Ryan, totally Gordon and kind of Ben for organising the day, buying stuff, and being great. | ||

[Haybrook](http://www.haybrook.co.uk/) - bought us snacks, drinks & burritos | ||

title: RailsBridge | ||
date: 2015-08-08 | ||
address: White October, 3 The Gallery, 54 Marston Street, OX4 1LF, Oxford | ||
summary: | | ||
RailsBridge workshops are a free and fun way to get started or level up with Rails, Ruby, and other web technologies. Our events focus on increasing diversity in tech, so that people of all backgrounds can feel welcome and comfortable in our industry. | ||
speakers: | ||
agenda: | ||
- time: 09:30am | ||

title: Start working | ||
- time: 01:00pm | ||

title: Wrap-up | ||
body: | | ||
This workshop is intended to reach out to women who are interested in learning how to build interactive websites. Attendees should identify as a woman, and can bring a guest of any gender. | ||
Interested in learning how to program? Never written a line of code before and are a little intimidated by nerds? There's no need to be! RailsBridge is a friendly place to get together and learn how to write some code. | ||
Maybe you've written a little HTML and CSS before, or touched on Ruby or programming. Maybe you're completely new to this and ready for a challenge. All you need to attend is a laptop* and enthusiasm (*get in touch if you can't get hold of a laptop and we'll see what we can do). | ||
We'll have some of the amazing people from New Bamboo (https://www.new-bamboo.co.uk/) on hand alongside the JSOxford and OxRUG volunteers, so there's plenty of help and mentorship available. | ||
We'll have tea, coffee, snacks and drinks available throughout the day, as well as pastries in the morning and burritos for lunch. Please get in touch if you have any special dietary requirements and we'll sort you out. | ||
We have two tracks: Frontend and Ruby on Rails. Programmers of all skill levels are welcome. | ||
### Ruby on Rails track | ||
In this track we'll take you through building a complete web application using Ruby on Rails. By the end of the day, you'll have an application that connects to a database and reads and writes information. Even better, it'll be on the internet! You can see the activities for this track here (http://docs.railsbridge.org/docs/). Don't forget to come to the Friday InstallFest (see below). | ||
### Frontend track | ||
The Frontend track is all about HTML, CSS and JavaScript. We'll be building webpages, making them look *amazing*, and adding dynamic behaviour using JavaScript (click here (http://docs.railsbridge.org/frontend/) to see the course syllabus) The only thing you need for this track is a text editor and the web browser you already use! Please download and install a programming text editor (Sublime Text (http://www.sublimetext.com/3) or Atom (https://atom.io/) are a good choice). Don't forget to come to the Friday InstallFest (see below). | ||
### Friday evening InstallFest | ||
There's a lot to learn on Saturday, so it would be really helpful if everyone is set-up and ready to go. We'll meet up on Friday evening to install all of the software you need (or work through any problems you've had installing), and then spend Saturday learning and writing code. | ||
If you can run through the InstallFest (http://installfest.railsbridge.org/installfest/) steps prior to attending that's also great. Even if you get stuck, please go through the rest of the instructions and download all the things you'll need. Bandwidth will be at a premium during the day, so it will help immensely to have everything on your laptop already. | ||

We'll start the day with a round of pitches, so if you've got any ideas bring them along. If you're just keen to take part there will be plenty of groups, and we've got mentors around all day to guide and support you. | ||
