Mtngs are every 2nd Wednesday of the month from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM.

Wed 14 Sept 2022
(I expect the segment on LINode will start ~7:45. We'll start w a brief call-for-help, announcements, general Q&A @ 6:30.)

Our group tends to be more techie than content. We're mostly SysAdmins, Network managers/engineers, programmers,... but we should know a little about setting up the ubiquitous website. So, here are 4 quick "thunder talks" that will start you on Web Site Development.

Web Dev night.
by Scott Granneman

1st Topic: Archiving Web pages Alternatives (did you really get EVERYTHING you need?)

How do you back up a website. Is the backup a complete archive? Are there things that are referenced or pulled into what is seen on-screen, and will that "visual presentation"...that "format" be saved along with the content? And since the SysAdmin or Operating System guy is usually the guy doing back-ups at the system level, they will expect you to know the back-up strategy at the web=page level.

2nd Topic: Securing WordPress. WordPress is perhaps the most used sftwr to build websites for personal & small business. BUT...what should we do to make it secure? Free and easy to build blogs or web sites. Open source content management system (CMS) written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database with supported HTTPS. But, its highly targeted by bad actors.

3rd topic: Setting up a Linode. A Linux DOT COM NODE in the cloud that provides virtual private servers.

4th topic: Visual Studio Code (beginner level). Aka VS-Code. Free code editor redefined and optimized for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications. For MS-Windows, Linux & macOS.

==============================

The Saint Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG) is an IRS 501c(6) designated not-for-profit professional association dedicated to education and communication among computer users. SLUUG members include many Linux and UNIX professionals, Networking experts, System experts, hobbyists,students, plus many who are interested in Unix, Unix-like Operating Systems, Linux, BSD and other Free Open Source Software (FOSS) applications, products, projects and services.

SLUUG is your forum for exchanging information about OPEN standards, OPEN systems, OPEN source, products, services and architectures.

We usually start the general meeting with our BASE introductory level session (often focused on personal computing), which may include either simple tutorials, displays of newly discovered web sites, command line wonders, demonstrations of useful applications, amazing graphical packages, major resolution of long standing anomalies, blinking lights, or quantum shifts in both time and space. Then we will have our usually quick welcome, introduction, administrative announcements, and a Call For Help - Questions and Answers Period. After all that, we take a break before our MAIN event.

• ONLINE MEETINGS ONLY until further notice.
• Will use a remote video mtng srvc.
• HOW TO CONNECT instructions will be @ [https://www.sluug.org/](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.sluug.org/&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw0RbfuIjrVlqVEnbP2D99f7) web page & our mailing lists. Note that your browser cache may need to be refreshed each time you check the web page.
