Drupal Drinks Dundee has joined forces with the Dundee MakerSpace to bring you "Web Workshop" - a monthly meet-up for people, of all skill levels and specialities, interested in web development and web technologies.
The format is a little different from your typical tech meet-up, with a short introductory talk about the subject followed by a longer hands-on practical workshop taking you through the nuts and bolts of the new and exciting technology and creating your very own “Wonderthing” ™ out of it.
This is a great chance to learn new skills and pick up pro-tips from new and seasoned developers alike. You will get hands-on and up to speed with new and emerging technologies.
The IndieWeb
For the inaugural web workshop Grant Richmond will be talking about the IndieWeb.
The IndieWeb is about taking ownership of your own content. In this workshop we will cover the fundamental ideas surrounding the IndieWeb and how to implement some of them. You’ll have the chance to do something most web developers rarely do – work on your own website!
When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users’ data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control.
What you need
- A laptop with a coding environment
- A drink (non alcoholic)
- Knowledge of basic web development techniques
- A ticket (it's free!)
Where and When
Web Workshop will run from 7pm - 10pm on the third Tuesday of the every month at the Dundee MakerSpace, Unit 3A, Meadow Mill, Dundee, DD1 5BY. This month's event is on Tuesday 21st October.

Green card
Hello,
I'm Matt.
John kind of knows who I am. Managed to get a green card for the night. Looking forward to it.
Trying to keep my head above water and always out of my depth.
Been working on this one for ages:
The Gestalt Analysis
Glad you can make it Matt,
