📢 Exciting Announcement: WebDevBBQ is Now Bytes & Bites! 🚀 Hey #WebDevBBQ Community, We're thrilled to share some big news with all of you – we've rebranded our beloved meetup community from WebDevBBQ to Bytes & Bites (#BytesBites)! Here's why we decided to spice things up and embark on this delicious journey of change: - Diversity and Inclusivity: Bytes & Bites reflects our commitment to being an all-encompassing community. The tech world is a rich tapestry of skills, languages, and backgrounds, just like the diversity in a buffet of delectable bytes. The "web" evolved into a comprehensive term. We want to accept and emphasize this change in our name. Whether you're a seasoned developer, a coding newbie, or just someone with an insatiable appetite for tech knowledge, there's a seat at our table for you! - Expanding Our Horizons: While WebDevBBQ served us well, it was time to broaden our scope. Bytes & Bites allows us to explore a broader range of topics, not just limited to development. From the latest programming languages to emerging technologies, and yes, even discussions over a plate of delicious bites, our new name embraces the vast world of bytes and beyond. - A Fusion of Tech and Social: Bytes & Bites perfectly encapsulates the synergy we strive for – a harmonious blend of tech talk and social interaction. - It's as simple as "files." Unfortunately, the original CI files, basically our logo, were lost on someone's computer. Currently, we only have access to a non-optimal pixel file. We look back on a long history, and things were made and forgotten. We want to be as flexible and professional as we can in the future. That also means having SVG files at hand and creating unified design guidelines. - From BBQs to Dinners: When our meetup was founded nearly 15 years ago, it started as a BBQ. But let's face it: we have excellent meals but not BBQs anymore. And while this tradition may be less prevalent, the spirit of community and collaboration remains strong. We're incredibly excited about this transformation and hope you are, too! So, stay tuned for our next Bytes & Bites meetup, where we'll continue serving a feast of knowledge, networking, and some delicious bites. See you there! Cheers, 🦄 David Lorenz & Kai P.S.: We want to emphasize again that we will entirely leave #Meetup as a platform from next year on. The 17th WebDevBBQ was not only the last one under the old name but also the last one that was promoted through Meetup. From now on, all updates will only be shared via LinkedIn and #Mobilizon.

I attended EntreFEST last week and as I reflect on the various presentations, I wanted to share a few of the takeaways that stuck with me. - Outsource the things that you don't love to do, and the things that will prevent you from scaling - Some questions are irrelevant (not stupid, but off track for your purpose) Improv can improve teamwork- trust is needed and it is fun! - There are no mistakes, only opportunities - Businesses should have a purpose (Mission Statement, Core Values, and Vision). People should also have a purpose and they are not necessarily tied to each other - Give people ownership to help unlock their potential Mike and I also presented a talk on how “Not Every Company Needs to be a Tech Company”! We were very excited about the response we received and I thought I could share a few takeaways from our presentation as well. - Your core purpose is the most important. You use technology to enable your purpose, service, or product. Therefore, every company is a "technology-enabled" company - Create a learning organization by using information and strategically embracing technology - Use technology to take a customer-centric approach to product development Thank you to EntreFEST for the opportunity to attend and the organizers for a smooth conference! 

Forms are dull and basic, right? Nope! Turns out form presentation, interaction, and handling is a complex art with lots of layers. Code for America gathered the best government forms thinking in one collection of videos and you can see it right now. FormFest 2023 was the best collection of forms thinking since [NAME OF CONFERENCE].

For the past 6 months I've worked closely with a local DJ collective Nimaš Izbire to enhance their online presence with their very own website - https://lnkd.in/dhjsB6s9 Features at a Glance: Event Timeline: A comprehensive listing of upcoming gigs and memorable past events, ensuring fans never miss out. User Registration: A seamless sign-up process for users to become part of the Nimaš Izbire community. Newsletter Subscription: With 300+ members already onboard, our newsletter is the heartbeat of our community, keeping everyone informed and engaged. Custom QR Code Discounts: In an effort to give back to our loyal followers, I developed a unique plugin that generates personalized QR codes. This not only offers a 20% discount on the next event but also fosters a sense of belonging within our community. The reception of this feature has been phenomenal, adding a new layer to our interaction with the audience. This was a really fun project to work on and I took a lot from it. Here are some key points: Team Communication: Getting what the team wants and turning it into something real taught me a lot about effective communication and translation of ideas into action. Newsletters: Crafting newsletters that avoid spam filters and engage the audience was a technical challenge. It involved understanding email standards and user expectations. Custom Plugin Development: Creating the QR code plugin from scratch was a hands-on lesson in coding for practical use, focusing on functionality and user benefits. User Registration: Simplifying the sign-up process was crucial. It was about making it easy and inviting for users to join. Pre-Event Prep: The lead-up to the first event involved quick fixes and adjustments to ensure everything ran smoothly, highlighting the importance of readiness and adaptability. Overall it was a fun project to be apart of that taught me a lot of valuable lessons. Special thanks to the Nimaš Izbire team for trusting me with this project! #WebDevelopment #Innovation #DJCollective #EventTech #QRCode #UserEngagement #NimasIzbire #DigitalTransformation
