Meetup talks - downtown Vancouver

Dec. 3, 2016

Introduction:
  One thing Julia started to do after Oct. 2016 is to spend some time to attend meetups, so that she can spend more time to go out and relax, meet people and learn something new. She enjoys outdoor cold weather very much, specially walk is a great exercise to a programmer.

  She went to "Why Microsoft Loves Java", and another one is "Hack/ Study/ Mentor Night". She did two meetups, one thing is common. She could not find the place, with people's help, she found the place.

  First mistake is that Microsoft has multiple offices in downtown; Julia assumed that the one she knew is the place, but actually it is more than 3 blocks away on Georgia street.

 Second mistake is that she took the bus to a meetup on 163 Hasting street, Mizilla YVR office, but she got off on Pender street, bus No.19, and then, she started to look for the address on Pender street instead.

 Things learned:

Hack/ Study/ Mentor night - December 1, 2016

Julia learned some open source tool, and then, check astexplorer.net, and learn how the language is compiled by the compiler. That is interesting stuff.

And one term she heard is mutation testing.

Udacity has some good course about interview.

She had chance to listen some presentation written by Python, and also had chance to know UBC computer science program and got to know a talent student as well.
