Frontier Developers' Meetup

Like the early pioneers of the west, Frontier Developers explore the vast untamed regions of software development, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in a never-ending quest to find better ways of doing things. Twice a month, we host a presentation and get-together open to all software developers interested in continuous self-improvement. Topics might include: * Functional programming; * Introduction to new programming languages; * Distributed data storage; * Extreme testing; * Web scalability; * Lean software development; * And more! We look forward to seeing you at the next meetup! Frontier Developers is currently hosted by the engineering team at SocialMedia.com.
