Speaker Guide
If you are ready to present at the meetup, we have a handy speaker guide that includes what we'll need from you and some tips that might help with your talk. Still considering it? Read on.
What to Talk About
If you'd like to talk but don't think you can fill 30 minutes, consider giving a lightning talk (see below)!
We like to discuss all things web + mobile. We've had a number of talks about Node.js, HTML/JS/CSS, web servers, libraries & frameworks, etc. We've also had talks about Google Glass, "Internet of things", etc. Bottom line: if you think it would interest other web app developer types, it's likely a good fit.
If you are part of a meetup organized around a specific technology you might be a good candidate for speaking to our group. Overview talks about languages and franeworks generally make for perfect topics for our members who might not otherwise attend a meetup specific to them.
Lightning Talks
There aren't any formal guidelines for these, other than trying to keep it to 5-10 minutes. Some people use 3-5 slides, some just talk. Topics can be anything of interest to the group. You know what the group is interested in because you're a part of it (what interests you?).
- A project you're working on at work or for fun (show & tell)
- A new (or new-to-you) code library/framework that excites you (mini-lesson)
Lightning talks in the past have covered things like Vue.js, RiotJS, functional programming, mobile apps, CSS Pointer Events, Node.js utilities, developer services, personal project, hackathons, etc.
