#Round 4: The Christmas Invasion

Time to wrap up the Christmas Invasion and put a bow on it... Here are all the good things we saw, in non-random order!

  • Aaron talked about lots of graphs made from NYC test scores.

  • Rick showed a really neat Medicare visualization that he made, which started as a National Day of Civic Hacking project. (Cool!)

  • Julian demoed the next big programming language, MyCoolLang aka Lebowski, rich with Python and LLVM goodness.

  • Chris fought the good fight against lighswitches, automating his home via his lightbulbs' port 80 (duh).

  • In addition to inventing languages, Julian also improves existing ones - he showed how he became a Python core dev and improved performance (timing).

  • "So your friendly neighborhood bikeshare station is out of bikes again. What are the odds?" CHRIS WILL SHOW YOU THE ODDS.

  • And Joseph showed some of the magic of salt, vagrant, and of course salty vagrant.

Happy solstice, everybody! See you on January 13, 2014!
