Lightning talks at ShopKeep! - November Meetup

Join us for a round of exciting lightning talks with some first time speakers! So be sure to come and show your support. For this meetup, we will be gathering at ShopKeep who will provide drinks and refreshments - thank you!

Our lovely speakers:

Teresa O'Reilly - 'How to fake it til you make it' - Drawing on my experiences as a new grad coming into a new technical environment.

Elizabeth Glenfield and Helen Campbell - 'Defeating new start blues with Puppet' - We've all been there before: you walk in on your first day in a new company, get handed a laptop, which you spend the next week trying to config to your liking. Rbenv or RVM? Bash or Zsh? 'Why isn't there a tool available to do this for me? :'('? Well you're in luck! Using Puppet we will show you how to get your development environment up and running just the way you like, all with a few puppet commands (DISCLAIMER: actual installation time may vary).

Clare McKeever - 'Why is everyone talking about blockchain?' - An introduction to blockchain - what exactly it is and why the hype.

Mary-Jane McBride - 'Chatbots' - Companies are increasingly adopting chatbots as a new approach to engaging users. I'll be talking about why and how easy it is to get started.

Claire Arrell won't be able to make it tonight but keep an eye out for her in the future for her exploratory testing talk!!

Hope to see you all there!

ALL ARE WELCOME :)
