What we’re about
Are you a software developer looking to expand your knowledge and connect with fellow developers? Look no further than our group! We are a passionate and diverse community of developers who love all things related to software development.
One of the best things about our group is that we are technology and vendor-neutral. This means that we don't show any favouritism towards any particular technology or vendor. We welcome all developers, regardless of their background or experience level. Whether you're a beginner who's just starting or an experienced developer looking to learn new skills, you will find a supportive community in our group.
Our monthly meetings offer a wide variety of topics related to software development. We cover everything from software development methodologies to patterns, best practices, various language paradigms, and even xkcd humour. Our meetings are held online, with occasional hybrid events as well. This means that you can participate in our meetings from anywhere in the world.
In addition to our regular meetings, we also organize special events on an ad hoc basis. These events provide opportunities for members to network and connect with fellow developers in a relaxed and informal setting. One of our most popular events is our Geek of the Year competition, which celebrates the achievements of outstanding developers in our community.
So, if you're looking to expand your knowledge, connect with fellow developers, and have fun while doing it, we invite you to join our group. We look forward to meeting you!
