NodeBots Day 2014

General Information

NodeBots Day is back for 2014. We'll join together across the world to create and learn.

NodeBots Day is not a hackathon. There will be no prizes other than the satisfaction of making something awesome! There will be very little in the way of talks. We're going to get together, collaborate and hack. The focus of NodeBots Day is on sharing and enjoying each other's company. And JavaScript. Lots of JavaScript.

Our inaugural event last year was a great success, we had around a dozen attendees of all ages, and several interesting projects.

This year, we’re expanding- and we’ve got a keynote speaker, Donovan Buck!

We will also have a project that's ready to work on, for those who don't know what to build, or don't have a lot of experience. We will also have plenty of work space for those who wish to work on other projects.

Date and Schedule

Date: July 27th, 2014

Time: 9AM - 5PM

Keynote Speaker

We have a keynote speaker this year: Donovan Buck!

Donovan is an aspiring roboticist and a contributor to Johnny-Five, the Open Source, JavaScript Arduino programming framework.

Donovan is a strong believer in the value of continuing education in Computer Science. His own CS education began at 5, ferrying punch cards around the data center for his dad and swapping out magnetic tapes while perched atop boxes of printer paper. At 13, he landed his first paid job building and repairing CP/M-based personal computers.

In the mid-90s, Donovan co-founded Bravo Zulu Interactive and later merged in 2006 with BrandExtract. He is now VP of Software Engineering at BrandExtract.
