🎉 Aug 7, 2017: CodeLab 023 in Session :alembic:

Who's here: Simeon (@svincent) Rob (@honzo0481) Ashley (@kangashley) Jim (@jimthoburn) Jacob (@jacobpolloreno) 🌟 Kyle (@fujisawakyle) 🌟 (🌟 = first-timer)

Stand Up 🙌

• Kyle is a new web developer who's starting an internship soon!
• Jacob knows Python and is learning machine learning and AI via Udacity.

Announcements 📢

1. CodeLab meets WEEKLY! 🎉
   • Review of our Code of Conduct. If you haven't already, complete our intro survey and workshop idea survey. Follow us on Twitter and Slack!
   • First week of month: Onboarding for newcomers, new projects, project/language you started in the previous month
   • Once a month: Urban Drool Tool work session
   • Rest of the month: Workshops
   • Pair programming track: @svincent has been moving the JavaScript Exercism exercises to Glitch—so you don't have to worry about setting up! We are interested in figuring out how to move exercises for other languages to Glitch.
2. Upcoming events
   • [12 pm PDT / Sun, Aug 13] Scholarship application deadline for GitHub Universe conf in SF (Oct 11–12)
   • [8 am–5 pm / Sun, Aug 13 / UCI] SoCal UX Camp / Waitlist
   • [7–9:30 pm / Thu, Aug 17 / Carbon Five, Santa Monica] Write/Speak/Code: Open Source Hours (a meetup co-organized by one of our own organizers, @leighphan!) / RSVP
   • [10 am–4 pm / Sat, Sep 23 / UCLA] Creating Coding Fest / RSVP

In the Lab 🔬

• Jim shared about @jensimmons' podcast, The Web Ahead
• Simeon led an impromptu talk on pass by references, primative vs. object, manual memory vs. managed memory/"garbage collected," .splice() vs. .slice(), scope vs. context, Immediately-invoked Function Expression (IIFE) vs. function declaration
• Rob showed us @sagemathinc's CoCalc for exploratory and interactive coding for scientific problems/showing not just what you know but "how you know" and explained the architecture: JSON documents are passed/stored b/w a Jupyter client and Python/etc. (language-agnostic) kernel via ZeroMQ. Also, check out Kaggle!

Plans for Next Meeting (August 14, 2017) + Future 🔮

• Potential tutorial topics: Timing, service workers, Rob is building a bot, technical writing/documentation, Ashley started programming by learning Arduino and Processing
• Urban Drool Tool: Setting up docs in a wiki (including how to set up locally)
• 💡: Build a CodeLab Calendar
