Events - Silicon Valley Flex User Group (SilvaFUG) Ruby and Rails Accelerator Training with Daniel Kehoe (2 day course) - May 15

Silicon Valley Web Devs

Colearn by @Citizen Space Presents this fast-paced class that launches careers for new Rails developers. In two intensive days, you'll establish the foundation for mastering Rails web development. While no class can claim you'll become a Rails rock star in two days, this class will give you the basics you need to enter a developer boot camp or begin a successful program of self-study.

The topics covered provide the students with principles and best practices of Rails development, including:

* Introduction to programming with the Ruby language
* Step-by-step instruction in building a Rails application
* Techniques and practices of professional Rails developers
* Individualized plans for ongoing Rails training

At the end of the class, you will have the skills to begin building Rails applications on your own, with knowledge of the resources used by professional Rails developers, and a solid foundation to pursue a career or launch a startup.

The Instructor:
Daniel Kehoe is known for his popular RailsApps project which offers tutorials and example applications for professional Rails developers. He is a former writer and editor at PC WORLD and NeXTWORLD magazines who has been working with Rails since 2006 as a developer and CTO in various startups. He is known for a dynamic and enthusiastic teaching style and a commitment to empowering students to become successful Rails developers.

Is It for You?
This course is suitable for someone who:
* has never worked with any programming languages before
* or, has some experience with programming and has never written a web application in Rails

Typical participants are interested in making a career transition from jobs as a graphic designer or social media person, or are entering the workforce with a desire to work as a developer or launch a startup. This class is ideal for people who have previous experience building websites using HTML, Wordpress, or PHP.

Events - Silicon Valley Flex User Group (SilvaFUG) Semantic Hackathon - May 15

Silicon Valley Web Devs

Semantic Hack is a day-long coding event that asks "What could you build if the entire web was your database?" -- and then challenges participants to do it!

Semantic Hack brings together developers and designers to work with advanced web-page extraction technologies, RDF, OWL, SPARQL, linked data, sentiment analysis, newly available datasets, and other semantic technologies that help make the web more readable, accessible and dynamic for humans and more interpretable by machines. PLUS, you don't have to know anything about semantics to attend. If you do, great! But if not, this will be a great way to get started exploring.

Teams will compete to create the most intriguing and innovative apps atop these technologies, driving to win prizes and -- who knows? -- even help to usher in the next phase of the web.

Who: Developers, designers, and others interested in semantic technology
What: A day-long hackathon to build applications that help further expand the semantic web, or demonstrate the power of accessible web data
Where: Citizen Space, 425 2nd St., Suite 100, San Francisco, CA 94107
When: Saturday, June 1, 2013, 9am - 9pm

We are seeking:
Coaches - Semantic Web-knowledgeable people to help mentor attendees
Contact the organizer if interested.
Sponsors - High-profile promotional opportunities are available.
Contact us if interested.

Events - Silicon Valley Flex User Group (SilvaFUG) Sid Maestre: Building APPS with BACKBONE.JS & REQUIRE.JS - May 15

Silicon Valley Web Devs

When developing HTML5 application, your code is bound to get more complex over time. Employing design patterns like MVC are important for separating concerns and creating more modular and reusable code. Backbone.js is one of the more popular JavaScript frameworks to help you do this. Unfortunately, like most open source, the documentation is a work in progress. Don't worry, I'll walk you through a series of examples that build on each other as I show how the moving parts work together.

We'll add the StackMob JavaScript SDK to extend backbone.js and persist your data in the cloud. We'll wrap up our session looking at how require.js allows you to break your backbone.js code into discreet modules during development. Once you are ready to deploy you can use require.js to build an optimized version of your javascript for production.

Instructor: Sidney Maestre, Platform Evagelist, Stackmob
Class Details: Breakfast & Lunch will be served, along with coffee, tea, and snacks. Internet will also be open for students
