The Language of Languages

The slides from the original presentation can be found here.

Viewing/Editing These Slides Locally

These slides use both Node and Grunt. If you don't have these, check their websites for installation instructions. To run a web server locally to view the slides, do the following: Ensure you have node installed:

node -v
v0.10.26

Then install dependencies:

npm install

Start up your local web server:

grunt serve

Tasks

For next presentation, some improvements that would be good in the slides:

  • Add content management systems
  • Idea of hack vs hack (malicious vs getting something up and running fast)
  • Discuss client-side vs server-side: talking to people? talking to data?
  • Better description of javascript: why is it unique? why is it (normally) only used on the front-end? etc.
  • Languages/frameworks/etc. developed by women (COBOL, but is there anything more recent?)

Additional Notes: not using 'he' for every programmer description but also 'she'.
