Hackerspace in Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Recently we had a member of the hackerspace in Minsk, Belarus, visited our space. Yahor gave a presentation about what they have done and are doing right now at their space. Pretty interesting and cool too see. And obviously we’re happy to welcome everyone at our space. Check out his presentation:
This Wednesday, on Feb 22th at 8pm our hackerspace will welcome a special guest. Namely: Ancilla van de Leest, the leader of the Pirate Party of The Netherlands. The reason why she is stopping by is not necessarily because she is from Rotterdam and visits hackerpaces regularly (it’s a first for our space though). No, instead she will visit us to talk about her party and the upcoming Dutch parliamentary elections, which are happening next month.
Although you might or might not share the same political views, everyone is welcome and our space is open for new discussions. So if you’re interested in Dutch politics, the Pirate Party, net neutrality, privacy topics or Ancilla in general - come visit us this Wednesday.
The last time we had a lot fun building a chatbot with JavaScript in NodeJS! To continue on this journey of learning how to work with event based programming, we figured it was time to dive into websockets. Although it might be very similar to building a chatbot, we think it can be either a good lesson for new people or a fun challenge for the intermediate developer.
This workshop is meant for people that just started programming, but also fun if you’re an intermediate developer.
7:00 - Opening doors
7:30 - Introduction (doors are closed, please message us on chat if you’re later)
8:00 - Let’s go realtime with websockets!
9:00 - And we’re done!
You can stick around to ask questions, discuss the meetup or just chill afterwards.
We’re looking for a sponsor(s) to help us provide free drinks and food, please contact: david@pixelbar.nl
It’s time for the second edition of NodeSchool Rotterdam. While the first edition was mostly theoretical, this time we’re going to be doing mostly practical things. Namely: Building a chatbot! With Node.JS obviously ;-)
This workshop is meant for people that just started programming, but also fun if you’re an intermediate developer.
7:00 - Opening doors
7:30 - Introduction (doors are closed, please message us on chat if you’re later)
8:00 - Building our first chatbot

If you like us, and/or want to make sure people don’t starve at a hackerspace… please contact us! We’re looking for a sponsor to help us provide free drinks and food for everyone that’s interested in learning to code. Contact: david@pixelbar.nl
We’re hosting the first NodeSchool in Rotterdam. NodeSchool are hosted open source workshops that teach web software skills. And best of all… they’re free.
Node.js is a popular, open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment for developing a diverse variety of tools and applications. This first edition will be focussing on the basics of JavaScript (ES6) with Node.
Let’s see whether people in Rotterdam are interested to learn writing software.
We’re planning to organise this every month. The first edition is already full, but when you signup on meetup.com, you’ll be notified when the next one is announced.
