8 years ago Both myself and @wingedeel did some more research into D3.js. I started reading through some tutorials by Scott Murray which I found to be really useful and explained everything really well - http://alignedleft.com/tutorials/d3
I've also found a treehouse video on D3.js I will try and work through between now and the next meetup!

8 years ago @mattpill Thanks for that!
One thing forgot to mention I could give a talk next time about the component library fractal I've been playing with, and I think might be useful.

8 years ago Welcome @ben198 who was at the group for the first time today. Ben recently started to work with React as well. He'd be interested in working on Express (API, routing) and also the admin area. I then remembered you were going to work on the admin area as well @ondenman. Could this be divided up?
It's been a frustrating fortnight as I haven't been able to turn my attention to the project. I'm fully booked with work and one step away from burn out so, @ben198 feel free to make a start!

8 years ago Thanks for the welcome @katjad, and for writing a summary of yesterday's session.
Ok @ondenman I'll go ahead and have a look at the Express/admin area stuff. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet you at a future session!

8 years ago Thanks! I've signed up for that talk
Before we started coding today, we discussed progress on the app (check out who is working on which area in last post). We also discussed possible CodeHub evening events from September and mentioned Refugee Hack day (more below). Also, we decided that in August we will have a break, and start again in September. It would be great if by end of July, we would have something to show!
We talked about the app's current purpose - display a collection of JS resources that have been useful to us - and agreed that it should not just be a massive collection of links (there are so many already!), but rather those things that have proven to be useful to this group, e.g. tutorials that we have worked through. We could categorise them in different ways: skill level, type (video, book, online tutorial); then can apply filters. Eventually we could add rating, and instead of the map do some data visualisations.
@gicela brought print-outs of wireframes that she had started with @me--2014 at the last session. They can also be found here on the wiki: https://github.com/CodeHubOrg/organisations-database/wiki/Documentation---Wireframes-etc I should also mention that @mjg17 added the LokiJS datastore now, pull request is merged!
Things we did in the coding session: @me--2014 started to work on the select component from the first wireframe I made the Redux branch the master branch now (previous master 'archived' in branch 20160614-react-flux-webpack) - so everybody working on the app, make sure to pull the changes first! @wingedeel and @mattpill - think you looked at D3js some more. You said you had some good resources? @marckimbrey worked through a React tutorial
Welcome @ben198 who was at the group for the first time today. Ben recently started to work with React as well. He'd be interested in working on Express (API, routing) and also the admin area. I then remembered you were going to work on the admin area as well @ondenman. Could this be divided up?
We decided (think we might have discussed something similar previously) that in general, if somebody wanted to work on something new, they should create an issue and assign themselves to it.
Things we also discussed but are not strictly JS101: Planning CodeHub evening events from September, suggested topics: CSS (definitely) Python Intro Commandline basics / bash scripting Git and GitHub JS !! (but what exactly?) PHP/CMSs Perhaps some non-code (what to know about freelancing for example) Loosely based on theme 'a baseline for web development'; aimed at people who have some experience but relatively new to industry, although not only! Any ideas welcome
Reminder Refugee hack day 24/25 June https://bristolrefugeehackday.wordpress.com I'd like to go, if anybody else interested please let me know.
