October Ruby Meetup - Hack Night - Protosprint/Dev

Details

Hello Everyone,

In our October Ruby Hack Night, James Abbott will be directing a workshop/hackathon:

PROTOSPRINT/DEV is a product development workshop/hackathon for developers. We will be building a "proof-of-concept" app for a fictional business case using a combination of design thinking and Lean development.

This workshop is for you if you want to:

Validate ideas for your own products and build proof-of-concept systems quickly and confidently
Improve your skills in information system design — when working with clients or developing your side projects.

We will be using the following powerful methodologies for developing IT systems:

Tracer Bullet Development (full-stack prototyping)
Insight combination (creating a pattern library of problems & solutions)
A workflow where domain modeling and UI design happens in parallel.

Price

Free for the Ruby community :-)

Program

17:00 — Start (arrivals, networking, ordering pizza)

17:30 — Some theory

18:00 — Inputs

18:30 — Break (pizzas arrive)

18:45 — Inputs (continued)

19:00 — Outputs

19:45 — Round-off

20:00 — End

So both hands-on sections (inputs and outputs) will go on for ca. 45 minutes.

About

James Abbott: I originally developed PROTOSPRINT for myself (when working on side projects) and my clients (when doing consulting). However, as I strongly feel that more developers should become creators, I am happy to facilitate PROTOSPRINT/DEV — which is a part of the bigger PROTOSPRINT course but targeted specifically at developers.

2017 Schedule

CPH Ruby Brigade will hold an event every month in 2017. Monthly events will be held at Rainmaking Loft in Copenhagen ( http://www.rainmakingloft.dk/ ). All events take place from 18:00 – 21:00. Events take place on the second Wednesday of each month (dates are included below).

Event Formats

We are experimenting with two event formats, Hack Night and Talks Night, and we will alternate between these each month.

Hack Night is an informal evening. Bring your laptop. The idea is that small groups will talk together, work together on projects, and share tips and suggestions to programming challenges.

Talks Night is more formal. We’ll have 2 or 3 20-minute talks along with networking opportunities.
