This meetup exists because I was damn tired of being the only black person at other tech meetups. We aim to be a network of developers in NYC interested in becoming better, learning from each other and networking. Developers of all skill levels are welcome, from experienced hardcore, neckbeard hackers, to n00bs. If you want to be awesome, or more awesome, I hope you can find yourself at home here. 

If you're an MBA who's never written a line of code, and doesn't want to, this probably isn't the group for you. However, you might want to check out this one run by the very awesome Mike Street: http://www.meetup.com/blacksintech/. We focus more on programming and technical skills. Personally speaking, I attend both ;).
