How do I put this list together? It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrape Meetup and Eventbrite for events in categories that I consider to be “tech,” “entrepreneur,” and “nerd.” The result is a checklist that I review. I make judgement calls and uncheck any items that I don’t think fit on this list.
In addition to events that my scripts find, I also manually add events when their organizers contact me with their details.
What goes into this list? I prefer to cast a wide net, so the list includes events that would be of interest to techies, nerds, and entrepreneurs. It includes (but isn’t limited to) events that fall under any of these categories:
I’m very, very slowly working my way through the first of Andrej Karpathy’s “Neural Networks: Zero to Hero” video series as part of one of my missions this year — to pick up some AI programming skills.
I’m deliberately moving very, very, slowly because I’m trying to make sure that I’m not missing any key details, and also because it’s a field that I don’t know much about and one that’s dense with branches of math that I haven’t touched in a long time, such as calculus.
Whenever I do this, I use an older method for note-taking, namely an actual paper notebook, and preferably one that’s graph-ruled. Fortunately, the nearby Walmart is a reliable source. The notebooks they carry even look like the notebook that the hacker character Elliot uses in the Mr. Robot TV series, minus the damage incurred from the considerably more dangerous (if fictional) life that he leads:
For me, taking handwritten notes and working out all the details behind Karpathy’s description of the system that he’s building step by step in his video helps me get a solid understanding of how and why it works. It’s also so much easier to write equations and draw diagrams by hand…
…and of course, if you’re so inclined, you can easily enhance hand-written notes with comics:
In his videos, Karpathy does his level best to spell out every last little bit about how AI systems work. It’s impressive — he does explain AI programming better than most lecturers I’ve seen or books I’ve read.
But he’s also someone with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and physics, a masters in which he worked on computer simulations, and a PhD from Stanford where his area of study was some mash-up of computer vision and natural language processing. While he says that all you need to understand his video is a “basic knowledge of Python and a vague recollection of calculus from high school,” it’s pretty clear that he operates on a different level than the rest of us.
I have years of Python experience and took university-level calculus, but I still decided to not skip or skim over anything Karpathy covered. I followed the math in his “first principles” review of what a derivative is, and walked through the process of stepping through the neural network he introduced, which is essentially depth-first binary tree traversal. It’s straight from the standard “algorithms and data structures” course from the sophomore year of a computer science degree program, But hey, it never hurts to review stuff to make sure you truly understand it:
I’m thinking of putting out a series of videos to help people who don’t have a computer science and math background understand some of the stuff that Karpathy covers. It’ll be kind of like the help that Homer Simpson could’ve used when trying to understand marketing:
I’ll close with the first video in Karpathy’s series. If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask me — I’ll see if I can help!

In the next couple of days, the 8th edition of iOS Apprentice — a great book for beginners who want to learn how to write iOS apps — will be available. I learned iOS programming from an earlier version, and fittingly enough, I wrote the first two sections of the upcoming edition.
In my sections, I show you how to write apps using SwiftUI, the new declarative Swift-based way of defining user interfaces for iOS and other Apple operating systems. This required me to not just revise the previous edition, but to rewrite my sections nearly from scratch. It was a lot of work, but it was enjoyable work, and I’m quite pleased with the results.
If you’d like a taste of what my section of the book is like, check out these sample videos from the RayWenderlich.com course called Your first iOS and SwiftUI app. It’s based on some of my chapters from iOS Apprentice, where you learn how to write your first app: a simple game called Bullseye. You can access the whole course with a subscription, which is a worthwhile investment.
And now, the sample videos…
The course starts with a challenge: given a description of the game you’re about to develop, make a to-do list of tasks that you, as the programmer, will have to perform in order to have a completed app.
Now that you’ve go a to-do list, it’s time to build your first Swift and SwiftUI app — an app that displays a button.
Now that you’ve created your first app, you’ll need to learn a little programming theory and how it relates to the code behind the app.
At this point, the app displays a button on the screen, but nothing happens when you press it. Let’s fix that.
State is a key part of programming with SwiftUI. In this section, Ray introduces the concept of state and how it relates to how the SwiftUI draws the user interface.
One of the biggest pitfalls when learning iOS development when something goes wrong. Here’s how you deal with these situations.
In this section, you’ll learn about portrait and landscape modes, iDevice screen resolutions, and setting up the app so that it displays its content in landscape mode only.
This covers views, which are anything that’s drawn on the screen.
You’ll learn the basic of laying out user interface elements on the app’s screens in this section.
Cluttered interfaces aren’t as usable, so here come spacers and padding to the rescue!
Once again, you can watch the entire course (plus every other course and tutorial at RayWenderlich.com) with a subscription, and you can get this tutorial in book form soon when the book i co-wrote — iOS Apprentice, 8th edition — comes out in just a few days!
If you want to know what’s happening in the Tampa Bay tech scene, or want to know what tech, entrepreneur, or nerd events are happening in and around the Tampa Bay area, it’s easy: just subscribe to the Tampa Bay tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events mailing list!
It’s got the same content as the weekly post here in Global Nerdy, but delivered straight to your inbox! It’s free of charge, “all ham and no spam,” and I don’t sell your email address (I’ll explain why below).
According to the 2019 edition of the annual tech talent report [PDF link] put out by CBRE, Tampa is the top small tech talent market in North America. Our tech talent population grew by over 10,000 people — an increase of about 28% — between 2013 and 2018. With techies in leading markets becoming less available or moving to smaller markets or the Sun Belt, our small but scrappy scene is in a position to put the area on the larger tech map — if we’re willing to put in the work.
Doing the work we do for a living is only part of the job. The other part — and it’s a crucial one — is building a lively tech scene that extends beyond office hours. We need to get together, make friends, share ideas, find work, form clubs, start businesses or side hustles, and do all those things ordinary cities into tech powerhouses. I was there when Toronto was a tech backwater in the early 2000s, but by teaming up with other community-minded techies who brought back their experience from working at tech centers during the dot-com bubble, we built it up into one of the top 3 tech cities in North America. I’d like to help to make the same thing happen here.
Hence my weekly “tech events” post, and thanks to a suggestion by Justin Davis, it’s also available as a weekly email digest.
I don’t charge anything for the list, nor will I make money by selling your email addresses. I plan to profit from the list by helping to make Tampa Bay’s tech scene an active, lively, and prosperous one. So please — subscribe to the list, find some events that interest you, go attend them, and go forth and help build the Tampa tech scene!
Sometimes, when it comes up in conversation that I know how to program Android and iOS applications, someone will say “Hey, I have an app idea — do you want to make it for me?” That’s why I laughed so hard at the most recent episode of Rick and Morty.
Here’s the opening scene from that episode:
In most cases, I politely demur — I can quite truthfully back out by saying “I’ve already got a lot on my plate right now.” Does this happen to you, and what do you do?
