A couple of weeks ago I ran from Brighton's West Pier to Worthing Pier as a replacement charity run to raise money for codebar Brighton. All while wearing a robot costume! I created this video of my run using my GoPro and ffmpeg (ffmpeg.org/)

ti.to/codebar/an-afternoon-wit

Use 2024codebar for 40% off at pragprog.com from Oct 7-13, and we'll donate 20% of the list price to codebar. Discount excludes The Pragmatic Programmer, which we don't publish.

TitoAn Afternoon with Pragmatic Bookshelf - Author EditionPlease join us virtually for an afternoon of talks with five fantastic Pragmatic bookshelf authors - Frances Buontempo, Cristian Planas, Marcus Lagré, Karl Stolley and Dmitry Zinoviev. All of these talks will happen virtually using Zoom. To attend, please RSVP and all attendees will be emailed details about how you can join the session. The first talk will kick off at 4:30PM BST (GMT+1). Frances Buontempo : "A Personal Project That Got Out of Hand (Writing a Book)" Fran shares her experiences as a programmer and her interests, including the reasons she decided to write a book. Follow her journey and hear about how much an audience has to offer, ways to keep motivated, and how to be a lifelong learner. Cristian Planas : "Growing with Rails" Rails can be a fantastic framework for building your startup. But what happens when the startup becomes a leading business? How do you grow and maintain a Rails application for 15 years? In this talk, Cristian will walk you through the life of a Rails-centered org, from zero to planetary scale. Marcus Lagré : "The Stress Equation: How Pressure, Complexity, and Security Affects Stress Levels in Teams" Stress is a leading cause of sick leave and mental health issues for academics and knowledge workers. What sets stress apart from other areas of occupational health, is the focus on individual susceptibility and personal coping strategies, rather than proactively fixing the stressful work environment. In this talk, Marcus Lagré will talk about his observations from numerous organisations and teams on how pressure, complexity, and a sense of security affect stress levels and why he created the stress equation. Karl Stolley : "Git-Config Essentials: How to Set and Inspect Baseline Configuration Values" Explore the essentials of configuring Git to make your development workflow smoother and more efficient. We'll discuss setting up your Git environment, customising settings to fit different projects, and creating helpful shortcuts that save time and reduce hassle. You'll hear practical tips on how to tailor Git to your needs, making version control a more seamless part of your daily work. Dmitry Zinoviev : "What You Can Learn from Obscure Programming Languages" Explore characteristics that early programming languages introduced that have shaped modern programming. Did you know that Simula laid the groundwork for object-oriented programming, and has influenced languages like Java and C++? Or that Forth's stack-based design offers insights into low-level programming and efficient resource management? Gain an appreciation of the contributions of obscure languages to today's coding landscape. Also, Pragmatic Bookshelf have kindly given us a promo code. Use "2024codebar" for 40% off your purchases at pragprog.com from October 7–13. You'll not only be getting an amazing deal for yourself, you'll also be helping the entire community. We'll be donating 20% of the list price on each title purchased back to codebar once the festival's over, so show your love and spread the word! PLEASE NOTE: The Pragmatic Programmer: 20th Anniversary Edition is not eligible for discount, as we are not that book's publisher and have no control over its pricing. If you have any questions, please drop us an email at hello@codebar.io.

How much do I care about raising money for codebar Brighton?
Post-training rain-soaked-socks-much 🧦

I am raising money for codebar, an organisation that helps Women, LGBTQIA+ people, and folks who are underrepresented in tech to learn how to code. I'd like to do codebar proud by running my best in the Great South Run and reaching my goal of £300.

Please, if you can chip in I’d be mighty grateful 💜💻💜
