Microservices? Cloud? Cloud-Native Development? We hear them often and they are everywhere in the industry these days. What are they? What’s the deal with them? What are they for and why should you care? If you are interested or simply curious about any of these, come and join us. In this workshop, we will attempt to demystify and offer you a practitioner’s perspective on what they are and why do they matter. You will have a chance to get your hands dirty and build your first Java microservice as well as to dive deeper into various aspects of microservices too!

Date: Monday Oct. 5th, 6PM to 8PM

Hey SCESoc!

The new semester is almost upon us and we’re here to wish you the best of luck! SCESoc is hosting many events this month, including a general meeting on the 21st that you won’t want to miss!

In addition, on the 9th of September, we’re opening our directorship applications! If you want to get involved within the engineering community, join in on the SCESoc fun, and have some stuff for your CCRs or resumes, feel free to apply! There are so many different positions to get involved with this year, and we want you!

We’re also going to be on Expo Live this Tuesday (the 8th of September) at 12:30 PM on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/scesoc), so come out and say hi to some of our executives!

Hey SCESoc! Canada Day is coming up quickly on July 1st and on behalf of SCESoc we want to remind everyone to stay safe! Please remember to take social distancing protocols into account if you are celebrating with friends or family, and try to avoid large gatherings as much as possible.

Hey SCESoc!
You may have already heard that the new Fall Semester is going to be held online this year, bringing new changes that we all have to embrace together. SCESoc is here to help out as much as possible, with upcoming events that will be held online, so stay tuned. If you want to read more about the state of the fall semester, click here: https://students.carleton.ca/2020/05/plans-for-the-fall-2020-term-timetable-and-scheduling-tool-will-open-on-june-8/

If you’re new to the SCESoc Website, I would like to welcome you on our behalf! Our society, including the website, is going through a major re-brand at the moment, so expect to see many changes in the upcoming weeks as it gets finalized! Eventually many new pages will pop up, introducing the executives and more concrete plans for the 2020/2021 year. Stay Tuned!
