Hi all,
This month Lorna Mitchell will be talking about becoming a software
polyglot.
"""
To be polyglot is to be a metaphorical global citizen of the software
world; to accrue and know how to apply skills beyond the technologies you
use in your day-to-day activities. When we're already expert in the
technology stack we're mostly paid to work on, how can we widen our
horizons and begin from scratch with something completely unfamiliar? The
short answer is: learn what you already know, and how to apply it to a
different space.
Some of our most vital skills as engineers are those that transcend a
particular language or tool: debugging superpowers are required in all
areas of technology, and the ability to coax an unfamiliar toolchain to
play nicely is absolutely a key skill.
Tips for approaching new tools, platforms and communities will give you
ideas for how to confidently start to pick up some fresh technologies and
add new tools to your toolbox.
"""
*Date and Time*
Thursday 2nd March, meeting at 7.30pm.
