** You MUST register on Eventbrite to attend! **

You may have heard before it's not nice to brag - but we're here to argue there's a time and place. In this workshop, we'll learn about brag books and even start our own with the help of Coding & Cocktails mentors. This event will be best suited to women interested in the tech industry, but beginners or people with no technical experience are welcome. Even if you feel like you don't have much to brag about, our goal is to help you think outside of the box and remember how cool you really are!

We love Web Development and all things PHP. Our meetings are often a little free-formed, but we shoot for this schedule:

6:00pm - Mingling / Meet and Greet

6:15pm - Lightning Talk:
* Last Month in PHP

6:30pm - Using LocalStack for local AWS development
Dan Holmes will discuss the use of LocalStack to simulate your own local cloud for development or testing.

If you are interested in speaking or would like to suggest a future topic please suggest one: (http://www.meetup.com/kcphpug/suggestion/)

All Developers and Non-Developers Welcome!

We understand Web Developers often come from all backgrounds, and many work in more languages than PHP. Whether you're curious and just starting out, dabble in PHP on the weekends, write custom PHP on a daily basis, work in a framework like Symfony, Laminas, Laravel, Slim, Laravel, CakePHP or customize CMS products like WordPress, Drupal or Joomla; our goal is that you will find something new, useful and thought provoking.

Practicing Agility at a New Organization

Change is hard isn't it?

As Agile Coaches, we typically don't find ourselves embarking on a new adventure in our career in which agile methods are already in place and things are running perfectly. As Agile Coaches, we are brought in to be change agents when change is needed. Alas, when we start a new job, we must, in essence, start over and embrace change ourselves.

In this session, Jill Parsons will talk through tips she has learned to help aid in practicing agility at a new organization, how to throw assumptions out the window, and present ideas for building trust among your peers. After all, when starting a new position, we're the newbie, and trust is best kept when earned.

Jill has been an agile enthusiast since 2008 and has worked with agile teams in the insurance, shipping, and healthcare industries. She is currently the Director of Agile Transformation at eSolutions.

Hello, everyone!

We're super excited to be partnering with Modern Web, Triangle Modern Web, Modern Web KC, GDGSV, Code Craftmanship Saturdays, TriangleJS, Triangle Node.js, GDG Triangle, & RTP Angular.js for this event!

In order to keep everyone safe during this global pandemic, we're continuing to host our events online! Our priority is to keep everyone healthy and safe, and hopefully this event will help us connect with each other, while also practicing safe social distancing.

Special thanks to our sponsors - All Things Open, Commerce Tools, & KendoReact!

Come and join us virtually for some awesome talks + JavaScript Jeopardy on August 5th, 2020 from 4pm - 7pm -- we will be live-streaming via YouTube!

Our featured speakers so far are...

Robert Aboukhalil
Bioinformatics Software Engineer, Invitae
"A Whirlwind Tour of WebAssembly"
JavaScript was born in the late 90's and, for over 20 years, was the only scripting language you could use reliably in a browser. That all changed in 2017, when WebAssembly came onto the scene. This talk is an introduction to WebAssembly: what it is, why it's awesome, and how to start using it. As concrete examples, I'll present two applications I built where WebAssembly helped enable both high performance and code re-use.

Drew Wallis
Director of Education, NWA3D
"How digital manufacturing (and specifically 3D printing) is changing the way we learn and interact with the world"

Stay tuned for more updates on speakers & talk details!

Can't wait to interact with everyone virtually - stay safe!
