DDL is dedicated to discussion of technology and techniques related to dynamic programming languages: Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, and sometimes something more exotic! These languages are fun and easy to get started with, yet powerful enough for all manner of professional use, and our members span the full range of experience with them.

We always leave time for general conversation and questions. Come try one of the most interactive groups around!

The Dayton Dynamic Languages User Group meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 7 to 9 PM, online and at Dayton's Innovation Hub (part of the renovated Arcade conmples). Use the General voice channel at discord.gg/9SgTh3T

We are a Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Dayton Microcomputer Association. http://d8ndl.org
