Bulletin 2025 Week 20 · Monday May 12th

It’s a busy couple of weeks for conferences - with TuringFest last week we have EIE joint with Growth Deeptech and DataFest this week. If you want to catch live-streams from The Data Lab for DataFest then check out The Data Lab Community.

There are smaller meetups across Scotland this week, kicking off with TechMeetup Inverness on Monday, a new Atlassian Meetup in Glasgow on Tuesday, Aberdeen Developers Group and EdinbR on Thursday.

This week in content:

• Sarah wrote a blog on Azure Local Solution Categories explained, and also posted a YouTube short on bulk emails in Microsoft 365
• Cam posted a short about seeding realistic production data in WASP apps
• Michael wrote about vibe coding a mobile app on the AddJam blog
• Gregory posted a blog and video on games built on Open Street Map
• Alan wrote about Borders Tech Connect Workshop 1

I also posted a trailer for the next EdinburghJS event on 20th May - hosted by Amandine Eap, we will be hearing from Nick Worrall on “State Machines with XState”. RSVP on Meetup to secure your spot.

I have announced the next GlasgowJS: Let’s talk about AI. I’m keen to find people who can do a short ~5 minute talk on either: how they are using AI to write code, or how they are integrating AI into their tools and products. If you want to speak at that event (or at an EdinburghJS “AI” event later in the year) then please do get in touch or fill out our speakers form.
