Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Wow, I must say that Ed's presentation last night was one of the best in the history of this group! Why? Ed recorded his interviews with the rock stars and played them as he went through the talk. Cool!
That meant we got to hear the voices of rock stars like James Gosling as they talked about what matters most to them in the software development world.
And, that's not all.
We had new faces, like:
and Ramya
A good time was had by all. Meanwhile, Edson has volunteered to give a talk at next month's meeting. Here are the topics:

Take a look and help decide by voting on which is the best one to hear.
If you'd like to present or sponsor (thanks to Evan of TekSystems for last nights delicious pizza and bev!) just shoot me an email or PM me.
...Best,
Mike

Apparently the 2nd Thursday of the month is a big day for evening group meetings, so the attendance could have been better. So, I'm very open to giving the talk again if it the opportunity arises.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Ripple is a new open-source front-end framework taking ideas from React, SolidJS, and Svelte into a TypeScript-first, component-oriented, JSX-like compiled language with fine-grained reactivity and scoped CSS.

As an AI team manager, Vivek Gupta stays broadly informed to guide AI experts effectively and drive the team. Engineers need feedback on both technical and interpersonal skills, Gupta mentioned at Dev Summit Boston. He stresses learning time, asking for help, and cross-team collaboration. Mentorship, data handling, and human-in-the-loop validation are key to success for machine learning engineers.
