Nodeschool: December 2016

Hi all,

Excited to announce our December edition of Node Schooll! If you haven't joined us for a Nodeschool meetup before we try and accommodate a wide range of experience, from beginner to expert. Below are the topics we plan to cover, but if there is a particular topic you see on the list of workshops, http://nodeschool.io/#workshoppers , that interests you, shoot us an email.

(Good intro class)
learnyounode ( https://github.com/rvagg/learnyounode )

(Should be a fun intro into IoT)
nodebot-workshop ( https://github.com/tableflip/nodebot-workshop )*

(Great library that everyone should use)
lololodash( https://github.com/mdunisch/lololodash )

Creating an Alexa Skill for your amazon echo.**

Alexa Skill is not an actual nodeschool project. This section will be a bit more freeform, but I will have some starter code available to everyone to get started. This section should be treated as more of a hacking group.

Nodeschool suggests a mentor/student ratio of 1:5. We have had a few people offer to be mentors but we are definitely looking for more. If you would feel comfortable mentoring any of the above sections please shoot us an email and we will add you to the list of mentors on the nodeschool github page. Alternatively you can open an issue on the nodeschool github page and we will add you as a member to the repo, as well as list you as a mentor.

The setup of the event will be different in that we will organize the room into four sections to reflect the four different tutorials members can go through. When you come in we ask that you sit in the section you are interested in. We realize that one section maybe much more popular then another so we will all have to flexible :)

If you plan to attend please have a github account as well as a recent version of node installed on your computer.

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

• An Arduino is not required, but if yo have one bring it! We will try to bring a couple as well.

** I will bring a few Alexa devices, so these are not needed.
