What is it?
Tuesday Hack Night
is New Orleans' premier weekly gathering for programmers, designers,
hardware hackers, and other technically minded folks. It's an
aggressively unstructured way to hack amongst peers, converse about
the vagaries of this or that methodology of developmental arts, or
simply to partake of delicious libations in delightful company.
There's no agenda, no presentations, no requirements, and hackers and
the hacker-curious of all levels are welcome to attend.
When and Where?
Our soirée happens
every week, on Tuesday, at 7pm!
We're generously sponsored by
LaunchPad,
a fine co-working space located at
643 Magazine St. To gain entry, you must enter the
secret knock, which is any knock on the big glass window on
Capdeville St.
You'll also find a number of us either inside or outside of
Capdeville,
a purveyor of fine libations located just next door.
There are occasional
special events
and
sponsored hack nights.
If you'd like to ensure your punctual notification of such occasions,
please join
the meetup or
register for carrier pigeon message service
so that we might send you telegrams.
It's my first time! What can I expect?
Naught but merriment, hacking, and chatter from 20-40 of your
favorite kind of people, milling about between some handy desks, a
comfortable sofa, and the libation-purveying establishment next door.
You should feel welcome to come, sit down, and
hack quietly amongst peers,
or just as welcome to come, sit down, and
argue about type systems.
Some of our most frequent members had a great experience when they
first arrived with
a question to ask:
"What kind of database should I use for this project?", or "Why should I care about type
systems?", or "I hear about this Ruby on Rails thing: how's it better
than PHP?" These questions, and many more, can be answered for you by
many of our attendees, often vigorously.
If you're shy, one of our fine greeters will be happy to introduce
you to like-minded wizards of analytical enginery, or non-like
minded, for the more pugnacious of you. Just walk up to one of these
fine fellows and be greeted, and
your first libation is on us!
