Girl Geek Dinner at Mekong |
 | This month, we'll focus on technologies that teach girls to code using games and devices. Tiffany France talks to us about Raspberry Pi and Sonail Shetty introduces Sphero . Gamification techniques can quickly make traditionally boring, painful, otherwise mundane activities fun. The application of game mechanics in a non-game context is why we gleefully battle for mayorship of our favorite coffee shops on FourSquare, how our FitBits encourage us to climb more stairs, and how many boys and girls are now learning to code. |

RVA Data Hackers: Analytics for Online Journalism Tuesday July 16, 2013
6:00 PM
804RVA
1657 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA
Please join us to hear Andrew Montalenti present on Analytics for Online Journalism. Andrew will walk us through how his company, Parse.ly, analyzes web traffic for major media outlets at scale.
Abstract
The rise of online content has simultaneously disrupted and empowered journalism. Disrupted: because now anyone can publish without the need of a printing press and army of editors acting as a gategeeker. Empowered: because content does not live and die on a static printed page, but instead flows in a evolving online ecosystem where it is viewed, shared, aggregated, bookmarked, queued, re-posted, linked to, commented upon, and reformatted for display on mobile phones, tablet apps, websites, widgets, RSS readers, e-readers and more.
