There was once a time where web applications were built with tightly coupled backends and frontends, often deployed as single packages. These applications were not very flexible and often became difficult to maintain. What happens if you have a web application and need to support a new platform like mobile or IoT? What happens if you need to scale? Modern applications demand to be modular and flexible and this is made possible through APIs that can be consumed from any frontend. In this presentation we're going to see how to build a RESTful API with Node.js and Hapi.js that can be consumed with any frontend client using simple HTTP requests. Bring your computer and follow along in this JavaScript heavy evening.

Android and iOS are the two most popular mobile platforms at the moment, but how does someone develop amazing applications for them? You could learn Java, Objective-C, and Swift, but is that feasible for maintenance or even timely development? You could build a hybrid web application, but will that give you the performance you need? Take NativeScript, a framework for developing native Android and iOS applications using a single set of code. In this presentation we're going to see how take Angular, a popular web framework, and use it to develop a native mobile application in very little time.

The Raspberry Pi Zero is an Internet of Things (IoT) device the size of a pack of gum without WiFi or Bluetooth that can run Linux and costs only five dollars. When working with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and many other Altcoins, it is recommended that wallets are encrypted and never to be exposed to the internet. Take the Ledger Nano S for example, a hardware wallet that encrypts information and is accessible via USB. In this presentation, we're going to see how Golang can be used to generate cryptocurrency wallet information sandboxed and encrypted on the Raspberry Pi Zero, an alternative to buying one of the expensive options, but maintaining similar functionality.

Kicking off the first meeting for the Tracy Developer Meetup!
The topic of this meeting is to learn about local developers in the area, where they work, what programming skills they have, and what they're interested in.
In addition to meeting everyone, it is a great opportunity to create a plan for future Meetups. I (Nic Raboy) have a list of topics that I'm interested in, but I want to get an idea about what everyone else would like to see during future meetings.
It doesn't matter what programming language you're using, whether it be JavaScript, C#, Golang, or something else. Everyone is welcome, even if you're just starting out.
