Young Rewired State

Young Rewired State is a week long hackathon for kids between 13 and 18. It's happening in around 50 centres all over the country, in which small teams of 3 to 5 young people conceptualize, design and build apps using open and government data (think mashing up crime data with a Google map and more). It's a great way for young people to get together with like-minded people of their own age and build some cool stuff.

The hack week is free to enter for any young person aged 13 to 18, and runs from Monday 6th August until Sunday 12th August. After 4 days of intensive programming and application building at their local Young Rewired State centre, everyone piles on coaches, trains and cars to the Custard Factory, Birmingham's revolutionary new arts and media quarter, for the Festival of Code. Here, they will have a night of camp and code, pizza and camaraderie, then on the Saturday afternoon they will show what they have made to an audience of their peers, press, government and industry.

NixonMcinnes have run the Brighton outpost for Young Rewired State for the last two years, and this year Cogapp have teamed up with them to help make the local centre even bigger and better.We're looking for bright and creative kids who would get a kick out of something like this, so if you have kids yourselves or know any that might be interested, then please let them know about the week. 

The minimum technical skill is being able to knock up an HTML page with some CSS.Check out the Young Rewired State website for more info about last year's event and interviews with some of the kids and mentors that took part in it: http://youngrewiredstate.org/

Async: Application Cache

The Application Cache is one of the cool bits of HTML5, allowing sites to work without a network connection, which brings us much closer to native app-like behaviour. However, from HTML5 roundup articles and talks, you may be left with the impression that it’s a magic-bullet fix. Unfortunately it isn’t; the Application Cache is a douchebag.That’s not to say ‘incompetent’ or ‘difficult’ - definitely ‘douchebag’. The Application Cache has skills we need, but if you asked him to paint your bathroom, he’d somehow manage to flood your kitchen and break your TV in the process, and he wouldn’t care.We’ll learn how to use the features of Application Cache without the horrible side effects, comparing techniques you’d use for a simple client-side app and a large content-driven site. We’ll explore the many gotchas left out of most AppCache articles and how you can build your site to survive them.Jake Archibald is a developer at Lanyrd, and formerly of the BBC and The Team. He’ll be sharing the pleasure and pain of AppCache, as he went through the process of building Lanyrd’s mobile web app, which went for ambitious device support, rather than “Webkit only thank-you-please”.

There are a number of CSS preprocessors available now; we’ll take a look at a few to see what they do, and how they can help you manage your code. Mark will guide you through the basics of LESS and show how it can be used to improve how you write your CSS.

We’lll take a look at Twitter Bootstrap developed by Twitter this framework is a great way to kickstart a website build. Mark will give you an overview of the framework, and look at what’s good & not so good under the hood.

Finally we’ll look at the concept of mobile first, responsive design. Building sites that work across devices from handheld to TVs.

We’ll examine the thinking behind this approach, and some tools that can help you with it.The session will consist of a combination of a presentation and live coding. Mark will aim to have something for everyone, whether they code or not.
