Since Mark suggested a ‘make’ session about building a node.js bot, I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring and propose a ‘teach’ session on node.js. Any takers? Ideally, this session would lead you through the process of installing node, and explore basic examples to get an understanding of how to run and write small scripts. I would want this to be open to people of any skill level.
Would we have to know JavaScript, Dave? You say it’s all skill levels, so I’m assuming not.
JS knowledge is not necessary. If there are diverging skill levels, we could also form multiple groups (assuming someone else would like to help teach).
For learning basic JS, I’d recommend jsforcats.com; we could potentially walk through this as a group to learn some fundamentals.
