I recorded a three-part video that shows how to build a mobile application without any code. I'm very passionate about Low Code/No Code platforms. I think there is a resurgence of Low Code/No Code tools. As demand for more applications is only going to grow, Low Code tooling can help technical people (and non-technical) to build applications much faster.
In this three-part video you will learn:
Why You Should Consider Hosting Lunch and Learn Events
In the context of developer relations, a Lunch & Learn event is a lunchtime developer education event. It's very similar to an evening meetup, but hosted during the lunch hour. While a meetup can have different formats (hands-on, lecture, panel, etc.), this particular event has a lecture-style format. Developers come to the event, get to eat a delicious lunch, learn something new, ask questions, and network.
So now the question is — why run an event during the lunch hour? I'm going to share why a Lunch & Learn can add value to your developer relations program. I want to mention this is not to run instead of evening events, but in addition to evening events.
How Content Creates Content
A big part of many developer advocacy programs is content. Content can be in the form of tutorials, blog posts, videos, and hands-on workshops and other forms. Coming up with content ideas is not always easy. In this blog post, I'm going to share some ideas how to simplify content creation.
The IBM Developer SF team hosts weekly events. We host at least one in-person event and one online event (webinar/online meetup). For every in-person workshop, we host an online event. It's usually best to host the online event after the in-person event, as people who couldn't make the in-person event can watch the online version (but the other way is also fine). The in-person event is about two hours and the online event is usually 40 minutes. So yes, the content covered will be different, but the basis will be the same. This is the first example where doing a hands-on workshop easily creates content for an online event. The in-person event doesn't necessarily need to be a meetup/workshop-type event. It can also be a conference talk, a panel, or a Q&A. It can really be anything.
