Inaugural WebAssembly London meet up

Hi everybody!

Firstly, we'd like to thank you all for joining this meetup group! We decided to create it after presenting some ideas about WebAssembly at another meet up last summer. There was such a good response to the presentations that we thought we could go one further and create a bigger group to promote this wonderful technology.

In terms of our backgrounds, we're both software engineers, we love technology and we also love meeting like-minded people. That's our motivation for this group. We believe that when you get a bunch of clever people together, good things happen.

So with that in mind, we'd like to invite you all to our first WebAssembly London meeting. To get this off the ground, we're partnering with our other meet up, "It works on my machine" (IWOMM). I will be providing an ‘Intro to WebAssembly’, followed by a more in-depth demo by Carlos Baraza. Then we’ll hand it over to you, the audience, to try coding a simple demo compiling to WebAssembly. Don't worry if you get stuck, we’ll be there to help you along the way (if we can ;)). There will also be a written step-by-step tutorial to follow during the workshop.

18:30 - Arrival: drinks and food
19:00 - Introduction to WebAssembly - Odhrán McConnell
19:20 - WebAssembly Coding Demo - Carlos Baraza
19:40 - DIY group coding session

If you want to participate in the coding session - which we hope you do - don’t forget to bring a laptop you’re happy to code on!

We’ll also be serving up some of the tastiest food in London - this time we’ll have a selection of mouthwatering treats from BunCo, so come hungry! Drinks will also be free flowing to help you limber up those discerning taste buds of yours...

The event will be held at Zoopla's offices on the south side of Tower Bridge on 1 May 2019. Arrive any time from 6:30pm and the workshops will begin at 7pm sharp!
We look forward to seeing you there!
