I hope everyone enjoys the fireworks this week - and in addition to that, there are some great tech events happening across Scotland. Highlights include: .NET Edinburgh, Let’s Talk Product Glasgow, Tech Meetup Glasgow, Dundee Data and AI Meetup and Tech for Good Glasgow.

Looking further ahead, the Glasgow Remote Workers inaugral event has been pushed back to November 21st, TestTalks at FanDuel is on Tues 12th, as is GlasgowJS (one speaking slot still available!). GlasgowPHP is relaunching on November 19th, with EdinburghJS Travel tech meetup with TravelPerk happening on the same evening.

Looking towards the end of the year I’d like to put on another Christmas drinks evening (last year we did a combined JS+.NET meetup one). If you are interested in helping or combining meetups to make it happen, please let me know.

In content over the last week or so the Braw Tech Podcast published an interview with Euan Cameron, founder of Willio, Pete interviewed Milly Tamati, building Generalist World from a small Scottish island, and Ljupche posted a video on How to Keep Data Consistent in Distributed Systems.

It looks like lots of tech folks are trying out BlueSky as an alternative to Twitter/X this week. You can find Scottish Technology Club at @scottishtechnology.club and my personal account at @jamiemchale.com. Come and say hello there!
