Javascript Hack Night

Gearing up for the jQueryTO Conference (http://jqueryto.com) on March 15:

After our 4 Javascript Workshops over the past month in collaboration with the GDG Waterloo group (https://www.meetup.com/GDG-Waterloo/), we are bringing it all home with a mini Javascript Hackathon Night on Saturday, March 8 at 5pm.

This will give everybody an opportunity to flex their muscle on some Javascript problems and show off some of the new skills and insights that they have developed.

Attendance to the previous sessions are not required, but these previous sessions will form the foundation of the challenges we will have available to attempt.

We will also be doing a raffle for a free pass to the jQueryTO Conference during the session!

Worthy of note:

There will be some very beginner-friendly types of challenges in case you are just learning Javascript.

The evening will get started with a short introduction at 5pm where we will introduce the challenges available to tackle, and then we will dive in and get coding.

Challenges will be based on the following areas:

• Using Javascript to create interesting interactive effects

• Creating 'Javascript Art'

• Building something interesting with data from a handful of selected APIs

• Creating a small Web Application

At the end of the night, we will have a show and tell opportunity for all the participants to share what they built during the evening -

Food and refreshments will be available to keep the motor running.

Here is the general schedule:

• 5pm - 5:15pm: Introductions and Challenges

• 5:15pm - 5:45pm: Plan

• 5:45 - 10pm: HACK!

• 7:00 - [DINNER!]
