As keen followers of this blog will know I started it back in 2009 for Ada Lovelace Day. Ada Lovelace Day is an international day of blogging about women in computing (and in broader science) – where people all over the world write an article about a woman in tech who’s inspired them. This year Ada Lovelace Day (ALD) falls on Friday October 7th, and we’re stepping it up a notch by putting on some events to celebrate women in computing in a big way. These events are in London, and are open to all (not just women). BCSWomen<\/a> are hosting these two events at BCS London, they’re fun and cheap, and I’m going to be at both. More details below…<\/p>\r\n\r\n

ALD Android Extravaganza!<\/h2>\r\n

This is a one-day Android workshop being run by Karen Petrie<\/a> and I. The workshop doesn’t require any programming skills – we’ll be using AppInventor to build a simple android game, and I’ll be giving some talks on more general Android development stuff. So you won’t end up able to write a fully featured Android app (it is only a day, after all) but you will have had a go, built a simple game, and you’ll know what questions to ask to take your Android development to the next level. The aim of the day is to give a high level overview of the tech stuff, and to have some fun playing around with visual tools for development. It’s £5 + VAT: bring your own laptop and an Android device if you have one. The Android development workshop booking page is here<\/a>. We’re not providing lunch, so either bring a packed lunch or be prepared to pop out for a sarnie.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Ada Lovelace Day Live!<\/h2>\r\n

The evening event is going to be great – we’ve got a fab speaker lineup including Sue Black (the subject of my first ever blog post<\/A>!), Maggie Philbin, Helen Arney, Gia Milinovich, and others. It’ll be a mix of tech, standup, music, and more. The price is £12+VAT, and this includes a buffet supper & wine, so it’s a bargain.
