Ladies of Code (London)

 
 
 

Our fellow LoCers!

We've really enjoyed meeting so many of you online over the last 3 years, but it's time to get together in person again!

Join us for an interesting afternoon in the park where we'll skip the small talk and dive into the topics that truly matter to us.

We'll be using structured networking* to guide our discussions, ensuring that everyone has the chance to share their thoughts and ideas. Whether you're an introvert or extrovert, this is the perfect chance to meet like-minded individuals in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

Please remember to bring your own snacks and drinks, as we'll be enjoying the beautiful surroundings of the park. Don't forget to bring a blanket or lawn chair to sit on as well!

This is our first time meeting in person in 3 years, so let's make the most of this opportunity to connect with one another.

We're looking forward to seeing you there!

Make sure you have e-mails switched on for this group otherwise you won't receive the link with the exact location. Check your Meetup settings.

*our version of structured networking will involve talking in small groups, using some pre-defined questions to guide the discussions for example, "what are you looking to do next in your career" or "what has been your best manager experience" or "how have you found working in tech in London", and making sure that everyone gets a chance to participate.

 
 
 

For many of us, the COVID situation means life's still not back to normal.

Whatever your intentions were during the various lockdowns, if you now find yourself with a pile of unfinished or unstarted projects that you want to get through, look no further.

We've been running these free events on Zoom and Slack since April 2020.

Members have fed back that they get a much-needed productivity boost because, in coming to the session, they make sure they dedicate time to their projects. Read more here: https://suze.dev/blog/get-on-with-it/.

If there's stuff you want to get started, finished or make progress on, but are struggling for motivation, join us! We'll get together to share what we're doing, cheer each other on and generally support each other to kick-start some momentum.

Here are some examples of things people have worked on in previous sessions:

• Writing blog posts
• Learning how to build a mobile app
• Sorting out Lego
• Photography projects
• Working on an online art gallery
• Preparing for a talk
• Decluttering
• Fixing a child's broken electronic toy
• Putting up shelving
• Sewing projects
• Building mobile apps
• IoT projects with Raspberry Pi and Arduino
• Online tutorials
• Assembling a treadmill
• Painting by numbers

The session takes place on Zoom and Slack and the structure is as follows:

*** Optional: 3.30pm [Zoom]: Social chat (not work chat 😜). If you want to give the social a miss, join the call at 4pm. ***

Join us as we start our review of the "System Design Interview - Volume 2" book, in the beautiful surroundings of the park.

This is the perfect opportunity to learn new skills, exchange ideas with others, and deepen your understanding of the system design interview process.

During this meetup, we'll be discussing the key concepts and takeaways from the first chapter of the book - Proximity Service.

This is the perfect opportunity to explore topics like the fundamentals of system design, the principles of scalability, and best practices for solving complex problems with a network of like-minded professionals.

Please bring a copy of the book and any notes you may have taken. Also, don't forget to bring your own snacks and drinks, as we'll be enjoying the beautiful surroundings of the park.

You can purchase the book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/System-Design-Interview-Insiders-Guide/dp/1736049119/
Share with a friend to split the cost or consider making use of your learning budget if you get one.

We can't wait to see you there!
