BrooklynJS

As much as we love running a monthly meetup, we're a little tired and will be taking February off. See you all in March! 💛

Following recommendations around COVID-19 and social distancing, we are cancelling this month's (3/19) edition of BrooklynJS. Everyone who bought a ticket for March will now have a ticket for April (or a future event if you can't attend April, email organizers@brooklynjs.com)

Closing out the night, @TomLumPerson is teaching us about neural networks and how to keep them weird, including a guitar demo. Did you know that slugs are a very important part of neural network history? 🐌🐌🐌🧠🧠🧠💻💻💻🎸🎸🎸

And now @jessie__wu is dropping us a line about how to build a hotline bling hotline with AWS using several of their fine offerings. Apparently the system is like digesting pizza! ☎️📞📟🍕🍕🍕

Up next, @fzembow is teaching us to grapple with higher powers—browsers! He’s showing us some things mobile browsers do when they are trying to act in our best interest or our apps best interest but end up getting in our way 📲

Now we’re hearing Thomas Boyt’s side of working on jambuds.club, a four-year long side project— the joys of using whatever tools you want and learning from them, and taking breaks! 🎶🎵

First up, @transitive_bs is our source on the wonderful world of open source. He’s opening up on how to get involved in open source, from docs to marketing to donations to code 💻

💛✨💛✨💛✨💛 We're excited to learn amazing things from @tomlumperson, @jessie__wu, @fzembow, @transitive_bs, and Thomas Boyt (thomasboyt.com) at our event on Thursday! Tickets are still available at tickets.brooklynjs.com (and sponsorships too!) 💛✨💛✨💛✨💛

Last up, @mapmeld is teaching us all about quantum computing— what is a quantum computer, can we even use one?— and how we can give it a whirl in JavaScript 〰️➰➿⚛️

Up next, @rodikana is giving an overview of dev ops for frontend engineers, from the cloud to CDNs to DNS ☁️📦🤖

Now @jessicagarson is giving us a sampling of tips as to how to create good sample code, based off the best practices they use at Twitter, including keeping snippets consistent across languages, getting peer reviews, and making sure the examples can be used as building blocks 📝

First up, @tholex is running through the history of putting things side by side, from tables to floats to flex to grid 🚤

Excited to learn cool things from @tholex, @jessicagarson, @rodikana, Fuzzy Wobble, and @mapmeld at our event on Thursday! ✨ There are still a few tickets available, so head to tickets.brooklynjs.com to snag 'em! 🎫

@dzkust Hi, no there currently is not a way to upgrade. However, night tickets are usually in high demand and re-sellable via Twitter or our Slack community closer to the event.

@brooklyn_js Hi!!! Is there anyway to upgrade my current ticket to the coworking one?

💡Did you know that...💡 We have two batches of ticket sales each month. The first is two Fridays before our event, and the second is a week later. Both batches go on sale at 10am Eastern. 🎫💻🕙⚡️

We're still looking for sponsors for our December event! Sponsorship is a great way to get the work about a new or established company, especially if you're hiring. If you or your company would like to sponsor, please shoot us a DM!
