Clean Code

**🇲🇺 WordPress Mauritius — Our First Meetup!** Whether you've been building with WordPress for years or you've never touched a line of code in your life, this meetup is for you. We're kicking off the very first WordPress community gathering in Mauritius — a space to learn, connect, and grow together. Come as you are. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your love of the open web. Developers, designers, freelancers, business owners, students, and hobbyists are all equally welcome. The WordPress community has always been about sharing knowledge openly — and that starts right here in Mauritius. 🌴 *** **📋 Agenda** 🕟 **4:30 – 4:45 PM — Check-in & Registration** Grab your badge, meet a few faces, and settle in. 🕔 **4:55 PM — Welcome from WordPress Mauritius** A warm hello from the organisers — why we started this community and what we're building together. 🕔 **5:20 PM — Introduction to WordPress** A quick look at WordPress today — where it came from, where it's headed, and why it powers over 40% of the web. 🕠 **5:40 PM — WordPress 101: How It Works & What You Can Build** No jargon, no prerequisites — just a clear, beginner-friendly walkthrough of how WordPress actually works under the hood. Then we get into the exciting part: portfolios, online stores, membership sites, blogs, business websites, booking systems, and more. If you can imagine it, WordPress can probably build it. 🕕 **6:10 – 6:30 PM — Closing & Networking** Wrap-up, open Q&A, and networking. Swap contacts, share ideas, and help shape what this community becomes. *** **💡 Free & open to everyone — no ticket, no experience required.** *** **🙏 A huge thank you to LaPlage Factory for their kind support in providing the venue for this event.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Session Abstract ### Data Cleansing using Data Bricks Machine Learning is highly dependent on adequate data. Not only does quantity matter, but more importantly quality. In this session we’ll cover how to build a custom automated process using Data Bricks. This will provide methods for cleaning data in a data lake using functions in Azure. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.

It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.

**TBA**
