Presentations begin at 6:30pm. We have two exciting talks this week:

Erin McKean

"If you develop APIs, you’ve probably heard of the Open API spec (and probably know it by its former name, Swagger). In this talk, you’ll get a quick overview of the new 3.0 version of the spec, common use cases (such as generating client libraries, creating spiffy interactive documentation, and doing automated API testing) that leverage the spec, and how you can use the spec in your own project, whether you’re just starting to create an API or already have multiple APIs in production."

Aaron Parecki

"OAuth 2.0 Simplified: OAuth 2.0 has become the industry standard in providing secure access to web APIs. OAuth allows users to grant external applications access to their data, such as profile data, photos, and email, without compromising account security. However, OAuth can be intimidating when first starting out. In this talk, you'll learn about the various OAuth workflows, and get a simplified overview of the framework, highlighting a few typical use cases."

Come a little early and say hi! The organizers will be available to help any newcomers with getting started. If you need help installing node and npm, or have questions or anything–please reach out.

Before our first talk we'll engage in a friendly Node quiz! Prizes include awesome learning materials sponsored by Cloudflare (eg. Books like "Effective JavaScript" by David Herman, and "Node.js in Action" by Harter, Cantelon, Rajlich, and Holowaychuk).

Our talks cover a variety of topics, presented by people with varying levels of experience. Some of our most recent speakers have been: Max Ogden, Substack, Chris Dickinson, Ben Acker, and more.

Afterwards, if you're stoked to keep hangin' we regularly take our discussions onward to post-talk drinks nearby! We may even hack a little if the night is young!

People who're new to programming and new friends to the Node community are very welcome! Say hi, make some noise, get to know folks, and ask questions!

Brief note about our location:

Please look for Nodesters standing by the door to let you in if it's locked! If you arrive beyond 6:35pm, please shoot us a tweet at @pdxnode, and we'll come as soon as we can to let you in. :)
