Our next meetup of Noosa / Sunshine Coast’s friendliest coders group (Coding from Beach) is coming up on Thursday 5 September (6-8pm). Join us for another awesome, hands-on workshop. This time, your AI tools guide will be Steve Ringo. Beginners and students are welcome along with experienced coders / software developers!
What to Expect:
Prepare yourselves for a mind-bending journey through the digital realm of AI-powered programming tools! Steve will be your guide as we explore the vast constellation of coding companions that are revolutionising the way we write, debug, and contemplate the meaning of semicolons;
Leveraging Large Language Models through AI-powered IDEs and command-line wizardry. Learn how large language models are becoming your personal code genies, granting wishes in the form of functions, classes and loops. Witness the spectacular fusion of artificial intelligence and your favourite coding tools. It’s like having a psychic octopus helping you code!
For Novices and Grandmasters alike. Uncover the secrets of how these digital assistants can elevate your coding game, whether you’re still trying to print “Hello, World!” or you’re architecting the next quantum blockchain neural network.
What to Bring:
-
Your favourite input device (keyboard, mouse, or direct neural interface)
-
A willingness to embrace our new AI overlords (resistance is futile, but highly entertaining)
-
Questions that would make even the most advanced AI stutter
-
A sense of humour (if you’ve misplaced yours, we’ll have spares available)
Why Attend:
-
Learn how to code faster than a caffeinated squirrel on a sugar rush
-
Discover the joy of having an AI finish your sente… exactly as you intended
-
Finally understand why your code works (or doesn’t) without sacrificing a rubber duck
-
Increase your chances of surviving the inevitable robot uprising by befriending AI early
Remember, attendance at this meetup may significantly increase your ability to sound like you know what you’re talking about in Silicon Valley pitch meetings.

P.S. No AI tools were harmed in the making of this proposal, but several were mildly embarrassed.
As usual, we will kick off at 6pm with fantastic networking over gourmet pizza and drinks, thanks to the generous support of our friends at Bendigo Community Bank Sunshine Coast.
