Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Code For DaytonArcade Innovation Hub, Dayton, OH
Code For Dayton is a monthly user group meeting at the downtown Dayton Innovation Hub. The meetings follow the "hack night" format - a little discussion and show and tell up front, followed by an opportunity to break into groups to work on civic or community oriented projects.
Today, I'd like to wrap up the Property Demolition watcher we started last month. Check it out here! There are a couple of things that we need to handle:
1. Only sending an email if there are new results.
2. Correctly handling cases where only a single result is found (the form directs you to that result and the scraper is expecting the list page)These are issues #11 and #22 on Github if you'd like to take a look.
Check out CodeForDayton.org to find out more about us and what we are working on.
- New To TechThe Innovation Hub, Dayton, OH
New to Tech is a group meeting monthly targeted at folks who are just starting to learn about software development, up through those already employed in the industry who are targeting their first promotion.

- Ruby Drills & TDDThe Innovation Hub, Dayton, OH
What will we be discussing?
We'll be exploring Test-Driven Development, a software development methodology that involves inverting the normal flow of development: we start by writing tests, and then code until they pass. We'll be using some simple exercises developed by Pair Columbus in a delightful language called Ruby to explore this methodology - please bring your laptop!Who is our speaker?
Matt Alioto is a software engineer and engineering manager who's worked at companies such as Vistaprint, Wayfair, and Probity Enterprises. He's most experienced in Python, SQL, and .NET with a particular focus on release engineering and accelerating the velocity of the software teams around him.
