About this Presentation
If you love Survivor the TV show, and you love to code, then you will love this workshop.
RWX Twilio Survivor will take the best coders at the event and allow them to compete for prizes, fame, and glory. We will lead you through 3 rounds of coding. You can only advance if you complete the previous round. The first three people to complete round 3 will be declared the winners, and their names will go down in history. The competition is based on the Twilio API. Participants will get free Twilio credits so that it doesn't cost anything to compete. If you are interested in watching the event, or simply coming and learning about how to make/receive SMS and phone calls using the Twilio API, then this event is recommended for you.
Web Warrior
I am a software developer, innovator, father and husband. I didn't invent the web, HTTP, JavaScript or even rounded corners. I haven't written a book (yet) or any draft specifications but I do enjoy the challenge of pushing the limits of technology. I am passionate about spending time with my family, learning everything, messing with technology and evangelizing America's pastime.
I currently work as a Software Architect for the LDS Church where I have been influential in pushing the web as a strong platform for building applications. I am the founder and current manager of the Utah Google Developer Group where I enjoy interacting with other individuals who are passionate about learning technology. I have over a decade of experience as a developer and a B.S in Computer Science from Utah Valley University.
I am grateful to those many who have shared their knowledge, experience and criticism with me along the way. I believe the Web is incredibly successful because it is an open platform and learning should follow in that same spirit. I look forward to sharing what I have learned with you, but most of all I look forward to learning from you.
Front End Junkie, Author, Aspiring Designer
I've spent the last several years swimming (at times sinking) in the Front End waters. Finding JS and CSS/HTML was the best thing that could have happened to me. By day I am part of the extraordinary Domo UI team. By night I am working with O'Reilly Media and Steve Olson, and we are writing the book 'JS.Next: ES6', which should be out around Q1 2014. Additionally I work on several small projects for myself, and one with my identical twin brother. Peppered in between working hours, I enjoy being married to a wonderful wife, and being the dad of three amazing monsters. And when the world is white and frozen, you will find me atop the mountain ice fishing.
