Turku, Finland. December 11, 18:00-21:00. Christmas is at risk again and it's our job to help Santa and elves to save it. [Advent of Code](https://adventofcode.com/) is an annual Christmas calendar with daily puzzles to be solved by eager developers. The first puzzles of the year open December 1st and on Thursday 11th, we gather together at [Konttori](https://sites.utu.fi/konttori/) to solve puzzles, share ideas, compare solutions and learn new things. Whether you've solved all puzzles up to that date or have never opened the Advent of Code website, you're welcome to join! After we close the doors at Konttori, we move across the street to Portti to continue the good discussions.
For our second talk, Ilia joined us to talk about frontends for DIY electronics and smart home devices.
"Either Super Mario Bros is genius design or I know very little about UX". Teemu Suoranta opens our November meetup at Loikka where he's talking about what he has learned about UX from Super Mario Bros.
Our third speaker is Stephen who's a long-time community member and today he's here to talk about event-driven finite state machines.
