Pixelbar

Dear visitor,

The Dutch government announced new regulations due to the situation regarding COVID-19. One of the new regulations will be the closing of club houses and other locations for public gatherings, including hackerspaces.

Tonight, 19th of June 2020, we want to reopen for a small group of people.…

It’s been a while, but we’re back! Our space had some renovation, which now allows us to do a workshop downstairs and a freeform upstairs if you want.

Instead of creating a traditional API using REST (a way to create a webserver and serve data to a website), we’ll be looking at GraphQL. This is a technology that has been picked up by larger companies, which allows you to do actual quering of your data.

Don’t worry if you didn’t really get that! We’ll be able to help everyone out,…
