This exercise may optionally be used to replace the mark of an earlier exercise. That is, I will take the best 10 of your 11 exercises and calculate your final grade based on that.

Step 1: go to a meetup

For this “exercise”, you should attend a local Meetup on a web development-related topic. Any topic relevant to the material in this course is acceptable. You can also attend a similar get-together that isn't under the meetup.com banner.

Some meetups that look relevant to me (but not the only ones you can attend):

• Vancouver Web Design Meetup
• Style & Class Vancouver
• VanJS
• Vancouver Rust
• djangovan: The Django Vancouver Meetup
• Vancouver Ruby / Rails Meetup
• Vancouver PHP
• AngularJS Vancouver
• Ember.js Meetup - Vancouver
• ReactJS Vancouver Meetup
• React Native Vancouver
• Vancouver Google Technology User Group
• Ansible Vancouver
• Vancouver Social Games
• OWASP Vancouver
• Infrastructure as Code Vancouver
• .NET User Group of BC

The point here is to see how some of these web development tools are actually used, and meet some of the people that use them. If you make some interesting contacts and that leads to a job, that's okay too.

Don't worry if you don't understand everything at the meetup: some of them can be very technical. You can see how these technologies are used without getting every detail. ReactJS Vancouver Meetup

Step 2: tell me about it

Write a short report summarizing the meetup you attended.

We aren't looking for a lot here: just prove to us that you actually went and paid attention. If it's more than a page, you've spent too long on the report. The point is to go, not write a long report.
