We envision a session were a group of developers that care about the quality of their code get together and share knowledge.  How does it really work?  1. It starts with a small talk by a guest about a technology or general subject. It is supposed to give an overview and some in-depth view over the subject and some interesting topics about it. We don't give our speakers rules, we ask them to amaze us!  2. The community gets to vote the topics that we should focus on this session. 3. The community gets the stage, front and center and shares it's experience and knowledge.  4. The community evaluates and gives suggestions  Each session will focus on different subjects and for each we will try to be hosted by a company that works on that subject. They will occur (almost) every month.  We look forward for your feedback, suggestions (and help if you want to join us!)  Official hashtag: #SCSPorto  What is the subject of the first session (30th of November)? It will focus on Software Craftsmanship itself and Android.  IMPORTANTE NOTE: There will be only 35 tickets, and they will be free! If you register and for some reason later  you can't go please release your ticket and notify us so someone can take your place!  Who are we? GDG Porto is a non-profit organization focused on creating a community of developers on Porto. We know the great talent present on this city and we create the events to bring it all together. We are part of a greater community of Google Developer Groups around the world.  What is a GDG? Google Developer Groups (GDGs) are for developers who are interested in Google's developer technology; everything from the Android, Chrome, Drive, and Google Cloud platforms, to product APIs like the Cast API, Maps API, and YouTube API. A GDG can take many forms -- from just a few people getting together to watch our latest video, to large gatherings with demos and tech talks, to events like code sprints and hackathons. However, at the core, GDGs are focused on developers and technical content, and the core audience should be developers. What else do we do?
