Our March event is live: Hunting For Gems: Coding Challenges For Treasure Hunters. This one is a collaboration with Philly.rb, the Philly Ruby Community! It will have a very similar format to The Enchanted Codex, which was basically a reskin of Advent Of Code. You won’t want to miss this one as we will not only have exclusive stickers, but other prizes for the folks who finish the fastest or get the furthest.
Event Recap
The February meetup was our first time hosting at Indy Hall,
and boy was it a show! We had the wonderful Ben Corey
walk through some foundational Rust topics like the Option and Result types,
then we put that all together to build out own little HTTP client CLI, curlrs
(Pronounced curlers).
We also had one of our biggest turnouts yet! Thanks to everyone who came and learned with us, it was great to see both new and familiar faces.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next one!
XoXo,
Graham
