React.js, React Native, Relay, GraphQL

Alright people, we're finally back!

This time we'll focus on React.js, React Native and the upcoming Relay framework from Facebook.

The meetup will be held in VG's auditorium, in Akersgata 55.

If you are doing frontend or mobile development and don't know what React is, then you should definitely come. In fact, React is so much fun that you should join us even if you're a core contributor.

After the meetup, we'll head to Stopp Pressen for a beer or two and talk about all the awesome things we hope to build with React.

We would love to have someone come and share their experiences on React or React Native - if you have a talk (short or long), contact us and we'll see if we can squeeze you into the agenda!
