Lightning Talks: Lynda Courses, Semantic Versioning, and ORM Pros and Cons

Three local developers will be giving short talks. We'll also have some time for networking with other members of the group!

Alex Ayon - Lynda Courses
The Oklahoma City Metropolitan library offers free Lynda course access with your library card. Alex will go over available courses and how to maximize learning on the Lynda platform: https://www.lynda.com/portal/sip?org=metrolibrary.org

Rainer Sigwald - Semantic Versioning
Rainer works on large legacy systems at Microsoft and has strong opinions about build infrastructure and versioning strategies. Lots of people love SemVer, with its clear descriptions of what each part of a version means. Rainer will explain why he thinks that's horribly misguided!

Shane Gilbert - ORM Pros and Cons
Shane has been a software developer with Microsoft tools for over 20 years. He'll provide a brief agnostic discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of using an ORM.

If you would like to give a talk at a future meetup, contact the group organizers through Meetup, email (organizers@okcsharp.net), Twitter (https://twitter.com/okcsharp), or the Techlahoma Slack (http://www.techlahoma.org/spaces).
