##February 2015 Survey Results ###Summary In February 2015 we ran a short survey (seriously, the average completion time was just under 2 minutes) to understand more about what the ladies of LWC wanted from the meetups.Thanks to all those who answered, this is super helpful! If you have any ideas on any of these or even if you want to organise a LWC meetup yourself (we'll help with venue, food, etc of course), just get in touch!
- In terms of topics, by far and away the most requested topics were: Javascript (both generally & frameworks), databases and Test Driven Development
- These were followed closely by coding on the processor and HTML5/CSS3
- A little further behind those were web app security, cryptography and Node.js
- Bringing up the 'rear' were Swift, other backend technologies and continuous delivery, but these still had 20% of the votes which is quite a lot of interest given the size of our community!
- When it comes to types of events it looks like what we really want is to get down to some real, practical coding
- And it looks like we want both advanced AND beginner sessions - what's that they say about not being able to please everyone? ๐
- But if you look at the percentages, really what it tells is that we want All. The. Things.
###What we're going to do about it in 2015 We're excited to get stuck into finding speakers for the topics you want to hear more about - we've already started, so watch this space. We'll be trying to incorporate more practical coding into the meetups straight away, but this demands not only some organisation time from the co-organisers but more importantly, lots of prep time from our speakers. We'll try it out and see how we go. We'll also try out hand at a couple of nights which are start-to-finish coding workshops (though we're open to suggestions on whether these should be in addition to our monthly meetups). These will take a while to organise we reckon so may be later in the year.
We have a few of ideas on how to make this happen but please find us at meetups and tell us yours!
