There’s a lot going on in the local (and not-so-local) tech scene tonight…

I’m speaking in Orlando at the Google Developer Group Central Florida at Design Interactive about the beginner-friendly Android dev tool you didn’t know about tonight! Join me as I take you on a fun (and funny) tour of Ren’Py, the amazing visual novel engine that also happens to be a very nice Android development tool. Find out more and register here.

This morning at 11:00: ClearlyAgile’s May webinar, Creating Actionable User Stories: Methods for Writing and Splitting with Purpose, presented by Fred Mastropasqua and Robert Shaw! Find out more and register here.

Tonight at 6:00: Tampa QA Meetup will be at the ECC, and their topic is Games and Puzzles to Build and Improve Testing Skills. Bob Crews will explain the history of games and their role in developing specific skill sets, discover the types of games to use for identifying personality traits and key attributes, and understand the value of games for boosting morale. You’ll leave with an understanding of specific games, puzzles, and brainteasers that target certain skills, as well as when to play and observe. Find out more and register here.

Also tonight at 6:00 — the Tampa Bay AWS User Group is hosting a meetup called Cloud Encounters of the Ransomware Kind, where GreenPages will discuss their view from the trenches when dealing with cloud-based compromises and Orca Security will discuss how their innovative Cloud Security Platform enables companies to scale in the cloud with confidence.

Florida Meetups Programming What I’m Up To

I’m speaking at GDG Central Florida on Thursday, May 25!

Post author By Joey deVilla
Post date May 18, 2023

One of the games that Joey will demo at the meetup: *Attack on Walmart!*
It’s a turn-based combat game featuring Florida Man vs. the world’s worst cow.

Next Thursday, May 25th, I’ll be speaking at the Google Developer Group Central Florida Meetup, giving a presentation titled The Beginner-Friendly Android Dev Tool You Didn’t Know About!

It’ll take place at Design Interactive, located at 3501 Quadrangle Blvd in Orlando, and it’ll take place from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

So what’s this beginner-friendly Android dev tool that we don’t know about?

The Ren’Py icon.

It’s Ren’Py, a “visual novel engine” that makes it easy to create visual novels — interactive stories featuring a combination of text, images, sound effects, and music — that run on computers and mobile devices.

There are a couple of ways to think of visual novels:

As a “Choose Your Own Adventure”-style book, but in electronic form, and backed with visuals, sound effects, music, and interactivity, or
As a story-driven, turn-based multimedia game, which can fit any number of genres, including adventures, simulations, or role-playing games.

What will Joey cover at the meetup?

In this meetup, Joey’s presentation will cover:

A quick intro to visual novels, including some delightfully ridiculous ones like Attack Helicopter Dating Simulator and I Love You, Colonel Sanders.
A tour of Ren’Py and its basic features.
A look at the code of a beginner-friendly project: a “Choose Your Own Adventure”-style game/novel.
A look at the code of a more advanced project: Attack on Walmart, a turn-based combat role-playing game.
Q&A, which in this case means Questions and Accordion!

Why is it called Ren’Py?

Ren’Py is a portmanteau of ren‘ai (恋愛), Japanese for “romantic love”…

…and Python, the programming language in which it’s implemented, and one of the languages you can use to create Ren’Py visual novels / games.

How much programming do I need to know to make visual novels or games in Ren’Py?

You’ve got options!

If you’re new to programming, Ren’py provides a scripting language that’s easy enough to let you get started writing visual novels after a couple of minutes’ worth of learning, but powerful enough to add a surprising amount of interactivity.
If you know Python or are an experienced programmer, you can harness the entire Python language and its libraries and geek out to your heart’s content.

And, yes, you can program using a mix of both Ren’Py’s programming language and Python.

What platforms can I use to develop Ren’Py visual novels and games?

You can run the Ren’Py development tool on Windows, macOS, and Linux…

…and with a little work, you can even do Ren’Py development on a Raspberry Pi!

What platforms do Ren’Py visual novels and games and run on?

The point of my presentation is that you can use Ren’Py to build visual novels and games for Android. Ren’Py can convert your scripts into an Android Studio project, which you can then deploy to your Android device or submit to the Play Store.

You can also deploy apps to:

Windows
macOS
Linux
iOS

And with more work (and the right amount of luck), you can deploy your Ren’Py-based works on Steam. Here’s a list of Steam’s Ren’Py-based games.

I have only two questions: “How much?” and “Give it to me!”

Ren’Py is open source and free as in beer — that’s right, it costs nothing to download, use, or to deploy your Ren’Py creations to the world! You can download Ren’Py from its site, renpy.org.

Once again, where and when is this fabulous meetup where I can learn about the beginner-friendly Android dev tool you didn’t know about?

Where: Design Interactive, located at 3501 Quadrangle Blvd in Orlando.
When: Thursday, May 25, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

Meetups Programming Tampa Bay

Scenes from last night’s Java User Group meetup featuring Scala

Post author By Joey deVilla
Post date May 12, 2023
1 Comment on Scenes from last night’s Java User Group meetup featuring Scala

It’s great to be back at meetups, especially in Tampa Bay, where there’s an active, engaged, and interesting tech scene. Part of that scene includes Tampa’s sizable Java User Group, whose meetup I attended last night and featured a JVM language I was interested in: Scala!

Presented by Steve Waldman at KForce’s new office in Midtown, it was a tour of Scala-CLI as a tool for not just running Scala code, but Java code without all the scaffolding and yak-shaving that it normally requires.

The meeting took place in the conference room at KForce’s new office in Midtown, which is really nice and has some particularly comfy chairs. I will need to talk to them about hosting some of my meetups in the future!

I’m even more interested in the language after having seen Steve’s presentation and sample code.

Even better, Steve contacted Haoyi Li, author of Hands-On Scala Programming about possibly giving attendees a discount code for the book — and we all got the book for free! I’ve already dug a little into it, as it was also an excuse to take out this new Mac terminal app, Warp, for a test drive, as you can see in the screenshot below:

Here’s another reason to attend Tampa Java User Group meetups: the prizes! A lucky winner got a free JetBrains personal edition IDE:

Afterwards, some of us hit the nearby pizza place/pub for more conversation, which included tales of the dot-com bubble, career advice, job openings that I’d heard about (including some at my place of work, Okta), and explaining that once upon a time, you had to buy development tools in a shrink-wrapped box from a store (you didn’t want to download hundreds of megabytes over phone lines):

I had a blast! If you want to join in on the fun, join the Tampa Java User Group and keep an eye out for their meetups!

About this list

How do I put this list together? It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrape Meetup and Eventbrite for events in categories that I consider to be “tech,” “entrepreneur,” and “nerd.” The result is a checklist that I review. I make judgement calls and uncheck any items that I don’t think fit on this list.

In addition to events that my scripts find, I also manually add events when their organizers contact me with their details.

What goes into this list? I prefer to cast a wide net, so the list includes events that would be of interest to techies, nerds, and entrepreneurs. It includes (but isn’t limited to) events that fall under any of these categories:

Programming, DevOps, systems administration, and testing
Tech project management / agile processes
Video, board, and role-playing games
Book, philosophy, and discussion clubs
Tech, business, and entrepreneur networking events
Toastmasters (because nerds really need to up their presentation game)
Sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fandoms
Self-improvement, especially of the sort that appeals to techies
Anything I deem geeky

Tampa Bay Technology Leadership Association relaunches tomorrow!

Banner for Tampa Bay Tech Leadership Association: “We are rebooting! Help us celebrate!”

The best way to make Tampa Bay a better place for technologists to live, work, and play is to get involved in the local tech scene, and one way to do so is by joining the relaunch of the Tampa Bay Technology Leadership Association tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. at The Pub at International Plaza!

Tampa Bay Technology Leadership Association, or TBTLA for short, has a twofold mission:

To apply the collective experience of the membership to real-world technology problems, and
To mentor students – and other professionals – who are anticipating careers in information technology.

You’re invited to come, and not just bring yourselves, but your colleagues, vendors and customers!

Even better: The first 20 attendees to arrive will receive a free membership for the rest of 2023.

I’ll see you there!
