JavaScript is the code that drives bells and whistles you see on almost any web page.
This week I used it to drive lights and motors on a table. And it was surprisingly easy.
We never know where to get lunch.
Oh, we know where we can go. But the moment our team steps outside, no one can answer “Where should we go?”
So for my second #MakeEveryWeek project, I made a bot to pick a place.
At work, we use Slack to message each other. A feature of Slack allows other programs to post messages in our chat windows using “incoming webhooks” — web addresses that accept data and then pass it into a Slack window.
Any computer on the internet can use the incoming webhook, you just need to know your team's secret webhook URL. Which I do. :-)
