BADGING/RSVP POLICY Please help us with badging and sign-up for this Meetup with your first and last name by answering the question during RSVP. That way we can print out the badges ahead of time and speed up the sign-in process. Thanks! We would also like to reiterate our RSVP policy: If you are on the waitlist and we think the event venue will be at or close to capacity you will have to wait until 6:45 before we allow you into the room. If you are RVSP'd we will keep your spot available until 15 minutes before the announcements, after that your spot will be given to someone present on the waitlist. If the room is filled at anytime earlier, we will deny entrance.

Programming is an art form, yet we often view programming as a rote act. In this talk, we’ll explore the connections between the brain, technology, and creativity. You'll learn the benefits of creativity, how to practice it, and how you can use it to make you a better technologist. Corey Leigh Latislaw (coreylatislaw.com) is a Google Developer Expert in Android who has written many apps at companies large and small. She runs her own consulting firm and authors videos and books on Android programming.
Everybody got all fired up about Kubernetes and microservices but then many of us were like ‘Oh, darn, what’s going on?’. Well Istio gives us a view of the entire system and gives us a way to easily automate application network functions: control, configure, monitor application-level requests, ensure resilience, routing, observability, fault-injection and more. In this session we'll introduce you to Istio and to Service Meshes in general, and we'll explain why they are a big deal and how they are the next step in changing the way we build and run applications.
