Cryptocurrencies are SOARING and talk about blockchain is on everyone's mind!

Will blockchain revolutionize your business?
What is a blockchain?
Why should I care?

I've been working with leaders in finance, logistics, manufacturing, and other industries to answer those very questions. The answers may surprise you. Together we'll find out what a blockchain is by building a straightforward sample on stage from scratch. We'll see the power of extremely distributed models. Then we'll talk about the impact to businesses and if blockchain is a technology that is truly right for your business and technical goals.

Having trouble finding time to write your blog post. Me too.

I want to have a dedicated time to work on my blog post each week, I figured it would be great to schedule a time to blog and be with other WordPress people.

Let's get together and write and talk some, but be a support network to get our blog posts written.

This is not a help session, it is to post blogs.

This is not an information session, it is to post on your own website.

I plan on two in the morning per Month on Tuesdays or Wednesdays... Depending on my teaching schedule. Hope you to see you there.

NOTE - The library has free wifi. If you want a secure internet connection, bring your own hotspot - one will not be provided. The library does have secure computers right outside the conference 2 meeting room. The meeting room will change based on availability

Saturday Meeting Format

Our Saturday meetings are free-formed. Attendees bring up topics that interest them or that they want feedback on. Attendees are welcome to participate or just kick back and soak in the discussions. There are also no dumb questions! If you're just starting out this is a great opportunity to ask questions.

The meeting structure usually follows this format:

* Introductions / meet and greet new members
* Open group discussion on any development topic, concern or question; discussing any new happenings that interest the group
* Get help setting up your development environment, looking at code, quick demos, etc. (time permitting)

All levels welcome!

Maybe you have been using using PHP for a week or even a decade--we all have things to learn and share. If you enjoy working with PHP, or want to learn more about it this meeting is for you.

Get Involved

If you're looking for a presentation-focused event with talks and demos, check out our weeknight meetups. We would also love to have you present! Please contact an organizer through Meetup or talk after a meeting to tell us more about your topic.

In this class we will be using the plasma cutter, metal break, and welder to cut, fold, and weld 16 gauge steel into fun bookends. A number of designs have been pre-created for the class, but you are also welcome to bring your own vector silhouette or an idea with you, as we will be learning about setting up your vectors for plasma cutting during the first half of class. This is the perfect class for those who want to learn how to use a plasma cutter with a CNC option.
