In today's Wednesday Evening Training: a "klusavond" with multiple topics

Don't try to translate "klusavond" using Google translate, you'll definitely get a wrong impression of today's Wednesday Evening Training. In Dutch, a "klusavond" could be translated in "an evening in which everybody is working on projects/tests/prototypes and freely exchange knowledge".

This evening, our topics were diverse:
  • JavaScript: intro and quiz (see selector)
  • Raspberry Pi: exchanging measurements between Pi's
  • Simple simulation in plain JavaScript (object orientation)

















Today, we also had two good reasons for celebration...

It's Pi Day!

Since 1988, the mathematical constant π (pi: 3.14 in short) is celebrated each year on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day format). This year's celebration is extra special since the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ was lauched today as well. So what has changed?
First of all, a faster processor. Secondly, a new networking controller which provides faster wireless transfers. Also: a new four-pin connector for an optional power-over-Ethernet (PoE) add-on. All this
Unlike apple, all these improvements have no significant effect on the price. the Pi remains equally affordable.

Next week we'll continue our "klusavond". We'll further define the scope of our joint Pi-project exchanging commands and measurements between Raspberry Pi’s through diverse channels. Additional idea's: adding custom Node-RED nodes & exchanging through Office365/Azure.
