Shorter Presentation(10 - 15min):

An overview of Glitch - Kim Schlesinger

Glitch is a community platform with an in-browser text editor where you can build and test full-stack node applications, write code in real-time with others, and ask an answer questions in real time. We’ll explore the tool, how to ‘remix’ a project and how to answer questions.

Kim is a developer, curriculum designer and instructional coach at Galvanize. Prior to Galvanize, Kim worked for Teach For America, The Poudre School District and Milwaukee Public Schools. When she’s not teaching and learning code, you can find Kim on a meditation cushion, practicing Bikram Yoga, or relaxing outdoors.

Longer Presentation(20 - 30min):

Debugging Modern JavaScript - Chandler Prall

We used to need `window.alert` to debug JavaScript. Now every browser ships with advanced tooling for debugging code. We'll dive into the tools and best practices for inspecting and understanding your applications (including Node.js) - including source maps, memory leaks, and logging best practices.

Chandler has been developing web applications for 10+ years and is currently the Lead Front-End Engineer at Craftsy, focusing on cross-platform development and workflows.

Socialize:

We'll have beer and pizza! We'll also allow people to announce any job opportunities they may have at that time so you can socialize with potential applicants.
