Austin Tech Scene

We'll talk about zig. For those who bring their computers, we can get you started writing zig, and/or show each other zig projects

We can also use this time to plan and discuss content that would be good for presenting.

Zig Meetup

Looking to meet other data people in the Austin area? Whether you're a data engineer, a data analyst, a data scientist, or something in-between... you've found the right event.

Every last Tuesday of the month, we try to host events to get together the brightest minds in data.

No agenda, no sponsor, no cost. Just show up, buy your own drinks and hang out with other people in the industry. Be prepared to share stories and laughs.

While the event states it's only for 1.5 hours, people typically stay much later to continue chatting.

Here's why we chose Brewtorium:
\- Central Austin
\- There is overflow parking
\- There's a lot of indoor seating

Looking forward to seeing some new and familiar faces!

Though we do love our recruiter friends, we want to keep this a low pressure light hearted space for data people to interact and enjoy one another's company.

Can't make the event? Please make sure to update your RSVP so we can get a good headcount!

This month we are excited to be joined by *Marissa Skudlarek*: Senior Software Engineer and accomplished playwright.
**Speaker: Marissa Skudlarek**
**Topic:** Two Kinds of Scripting: What Writing Plays Has Taught Me About Writing Python Programs

It’s a set of instructions, describing a series of actions to be taken or events that should happen. It’s written with specialized syntax and formatting. You want it to be efficient; you don’t want it to bog down. It doesn’t reach its full potential until you run through it, start to finish, without error.

Am I talking about a play script, or a Python program?

"Two Kinds of Scripting" explores the surprising and thought-provoking connections between writing code and writing plays, from the perspective of a Bay Area software engineer with a degree in drama from a liberal arts college and two decades of playwriting experience. It will discuss how structuring and plotting a play is like structuring a computer program; the way that a knowledge of Method Acting can help you figure out to name your Python methods; and how stage directions are just as controversial among theater folks as code comments are among engineers. Finally, the talk will discuss some things that playwrights could learn from the engineering world, including version control and better feedback "debugging" techniques.
