A casual weekly virtual chat mostly focused on web and software development.

Weekly Dev Chat is a place to ask questions, hear different viewpoints, and get to know your fellow developers. Every week there is an initial topic posted to get the discussion started. Sometimes we discuss the initial topic the entire chat, and other times the topic changes several times through the natural flow of the conversation.

Everyone and anyone are welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others.

Thanks for Joining the General Magic Watch Party

Thanks to everyone who braved rain/sleet/snow and joined us for the General Magic Watch Party last night (Oct 27th). It was great to watch and discuss the documentary with fellow developers.

What was your takeaway from the documentary? For me it was don't try to implement everything at once. That is very risky. Start with a solid base product that does one thing well and gradually add to it.

Special thanks to the Edmonton Public Library - Strathcona for providing the comfy chairs and the new TV.

See you at our next in-real-life (IRL) event in November, date to be decided, or online every Tuesday at 12pm Alberta Time.

Bring Your Own Topic

Today's chat initial topic is whatever you bring. Inspired by me running out of time to come up with a topic. If you have a topic for a future chat let us know at chris@weeklydevchat.com.

Everyone and anyone are welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others.
