Lauren Etheridge is a Web Developer and Designer with OIT Design and Web Services at NC State. She has a globe trotting background in social work and web development. Ask her about independent film, David Lynch, comedy shows, music & the Fibonacci Sequence in nature. If you’re lucky you might hear her play theremin.

Miles Elliott is also a Web Developer and Designer with OIT Design and Web Services at NC State. He has a background in graphic design and web development. He enjoys woodworking, electronics, and long walks by western avenue. If you’re lucky you might hear him struggle to play “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” on the Laser Harp.

They will be presenting:  The Blockenspiel: Tackling Gutenberg Development.

In this talk, they will cover how the central IT web team at NC State reworked development processes and tools to fit within a GutenWorld. They will discuss changing coding practices, new vocabulary, and cross-departmental collaboration all coming together in a campus-wide Blocks plugin.

Attendees of this talk will come away with strategies for adapting to change and working collaboratively, as well as a framework for developing a set of blocks for your campus.
