This month's meetup features a special guest, all the way from Germany: Andreas Heigl. His talk will be about the ten things that makes you get better at being awesome, true story! 

Treehouse will be hosting our event, so prepare yourself for a fun night with us, a ping pong table and Andreas Heigl!

Gamify your growth as a developer? - Andreas Heigl

I love to get better as a developer and when I get rewarded for that even better! In this session we'll have a look at ten tools that make our lives as developers easier and along the way allow us to become better as a developer. Services like Github or Bitbucket allow us to communicate with one another about code while Scrutinizer, Code-Climate or Insight can give us valuable informations on how to improve our coding skills and easily bring our code to a better level. Suddenly tedious tasks like writing unittests, reducing cyclomatic complexity and adding documentation can become entertaining and rewarding. All this because we all strive to get high marks, 100% or a green button. So let's see what the benefits of the different tools are and how we can integrate them into our build-chain.
