What we’re about
This group is for anyone with a fondness for software development. We will not be limiting ourselves to one such topic. Instead the idea is to cover any and all things dev. Ranging from the usual suspects (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) but we'll also dive into other topics like programming languages like PHP, Ruby, C# and server technologies.

### From Sketchware to Swift: The OzarksMade Journey to AllThoughts - Presentation by Richard Browning
Coding can seem intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be! In this session, I’ll share my journey from coding on a phone with Sketchware, QuickEdit, and Termux to developing AllThoughts, my latest self-hosted app. I'll walk through the steps I took to teach myself HTML, JavaScript, and Swift—all without ever taking a formal coding class.
We’ll also discuss self-hosting vs. third-party hosting (GitHub, Replit, etc.) and how I built AllThoughts with a strong focus on privacy and control. Expect to see real-world code snippets, a live demo of my app, and practical insights on getting started with development—whether you’re on a full desktop setup or just a mobile device.
If you’ve ever thought about coding but didn’t know where to begin, this session is for you. You don’t need a CS degree to start building something amazing!
