SUMMARY:Pimp Your App: Use Xamarin.Forms Animation to Increase Your App WOW Factor
DESCRIPTION:Pump up your UX by adding the polish to your Xamarin.Forms UI.  Make your app stand out without resorting to custom renderers and eliminate that messy platform specific code.\nBackground\nAs one of the core principles of Google’s new “Material Design” philosophy\, the chant of the mantra states: Motion provides meaning.  Therefore\, it is essential to use animation as a supportive technique to communicate the functionality of your mobile app.  Xamarin.Forms makes this easy since you can select from a set of pre-defined animations\, or you can define your own complex animations for stellar impact.\nIn this session\, we will build a small cross-platform game to explore the Xamarin.Forms animation infrastructure for making your application dance on the screen.  Discussion topics will cover how to: create Simple\, Compound and Composite Animation\, precisely control motion with built-in and custom Easing Functions\, and construct complex Custom Animation for app or gaming elements.\nDid you think Xamarin.Forms was only for simple boring form apps?  Not anymore.\nAbout Chris Zura\nBy day\, Chris is an Engineering Manager and Technology Architect helping companies build the key technologies and business strategies to bring their products and services to market.  As Patent Author with a proven track record providing strategic vision for a number of industries\, he offers his expertise in software and hardware engineering\, product design\, prototyping\, manufacturing\, marketing\, and automated delivery.  As Certified Scrum Master (CSM) and Agile Coach\, he is passionate about empowering teams to deliver innovation.  However\, being a tech gadget guy\, you can find him tinkering with his iPhone to control his Arduino and Raspberry PI as co-organizer over at the new SoFlo “Embedded Entrepreneur” Group on meetup.com.  More info at czura.net.

SUMMARY:Designing for Memory vs. Experience
DESCRIPTION:In a world of limited resources\, it’s critically important to focus on designing for the moments that have the greatest impact on our behavior.\nWhile our natural tendency is to try to make every touch point of the experience better\, assuming this will correlate to preference and future behavior in favor of our brands and products\, a great deal of research has also emphasized the importance of memory – mental models built on associations and previous experience. And because the drivers and dynamics of memory are different than those of experience\, designing for memory requires a different lens and approach.\nJoin us for an interactive presentation as Sam Evans from Egg Strategy shares a behavioral perspective on:\n• The difference between experience and memory\n• How memory shapes our behavior\n• Practical tips on how to design for memory.

SUMMARY:Designing for Memory vs. Experience
DESCRIPTION:In a world of limited resources\, it’s critically important to focus on designing for the moments that have the greatest impact on our behavior.\nWhile our natural tendency is to try to make every touch point of the experience better\, assuming this will correlate to preference and future behavior in favor of our brands and products\, a great deal of research has also emphasized the importance of memory – mental models built on associations and previous experience. And because the drivers and dynamics of memory are different than those of experience\, designing for memory requires a different lens and approach.\nJoin us for an interactive presentation as Sam Evans from Egg Strategy shares a behavioral perspective on:\n• The difference between experience and memory\n• How memory shapes our behavior\n• Practical tips on how to design for memory.

SUMMARY:Let’s talk about functional programming
DESCRIPTION:This talk discusses the meaning and value of types. Scala is a programming language with a strong type system. We are going to demonstrate the value that types provide in Scala.\nAlso\, we’ll look at how to represent a sample domain using Scala type system. Further\, we’ll explain type categories: Sum\, Product\, Enumeration\, etc.\nFinally\, we’ll consider how to use the ‘safe constructor’ pattern to model domain objects. Part of this topic will involve using types to our advantage for error handling.\nBy the end of this talk\, I hope that I’ll persuade the String-ly typed Meetup members to consider a type rather than a String.\nPlease\, make sure to RSVP Here

SUMMARY:Ironhack Hackshow #8
DESCRIPTION:From professionals to coding wizards\nWe’re getting ready to graduate TWO groups of students who decided to take the non-traditional approach to learning. They now have the tools and confidence to enter the global technology marketplace. Join us in giving them a warm welcome and watching them gracefully fly the Ironhack nest\, one by one.\nThe Hackshow exhibits the fully functioning web apps these students learned to build on their own (and some with zero prior coding experience!) Just a couple thousand lines of code and a whole lot of hard work later\, they’ve successfully evolved into Jr. Web Developers.\nIndividual lightning pitches  \nEach Ironhack student will have 60 seconds to pitch their project to the audience (that’s you) who will vote for the top 3 presentations\, from which our panel of esteemed judges will pick a grand winner.\nThis Hackshow’s judging panel will feature Ricardo Morales\, VP of Technology at Care Cloud\, Eduardo Feo\, Head of UX at Watsco\, and Nestor Urquiza\, CTO at Kaufman Rossin.\nThe Nitty Gritty\nWe’ll be taking over the third floor of our amazing collaborating workspace\, Building.co\, with craft beer\, food\, and plenty of opportunities to network.\nYou’ll get to see first hand what someone could really learn to do at a coding bootcamp like ours. Take it from our students\, who have dedicated over 400 hours of their time to learning the highest demand skills of today.\nSchedule:\n6:30 – 7:00 Drinks + Snacks\, and meet our students.\n7:00 – 7:20 Intro + Keynote\n7:20 – 7:40 Lightning pitches!\n7:40 – 7:50 Audience casts its votes.\n8:10 – 8:40 Top 3 Finalists give their full pitch!\n9:00 Winner is crowned!\nEntry is free\, but please RSVP above so we can make sure to have enough beer + snacks for everyone!\nContact us at [masked] if you have any questions.\nP.S.
