Dev Edmonton JavaScript, Python & Ruby Meetup

Whether you're a student, a seasoned developer, or someone who's curious about the software development industry, we invite you to come join us for an evening of networking and knowledge-sharing.

This month, we're happy to present:

Introduction to Native Extensions by Andrew N.
> As great as Python, Ruby, and JS are, sometimes they can all use a little help from code written in other programming languages. In this talk, we'll find out how native extensions work and how to create them.

To ensure everyone feels welcomed and supported, we ask that you review and abide by our Code of Conduct during our meetup.

Schedule

• 6:30pm: doors open, pizza & pop provided
• 7:00pm: intro slides
• 7:15pm: main topic 1
• ~7:45pm: intermission

• 8:45pm: everybody, out the door! (The Next Act is our unofficial after-meetup, meetup)

Who are we?
The YEG JavaScript, Python, and Ruby organizers are teaming up to bring back in-person meetups and talks. We aim to help explore topics in those three languages, but also web, mobile, data science, and machine learning in general.

There is always an opportunity for you to practice public speaking in our welcoming and beginner-friendly environment: DM @aaron.yong on Slack if you're interested/curious!

For more information, join us on the Dev Edmonton Slack at https://devedmonton.com/#about-our-slack, and/or visit https://exchangejs.com.
