HackerNest Vancouver May Tech Social - LIMITED SPACE

Thank you to our awesome friends at Invoke for hosting another HackerNestVAN Meetup in May!

We did a shout out for sponsorship for our events and beer and got an overwhelming response! BIG CHEERS to our three sponsors who have come on board with HackerNest VAN!

Voyer Law Corporation (http://voyerlaw.com/)

Voyer Law Corporation is a cross-border law firm advising startups, developers and game studios on U.S. and Canadian corporate and technology law. They are our sponsors for May AND June! YAY!

Lighthouse Labs (http://lighthouselabs.ca)

Lighthouse Labs is a supersonic jet for your career. They've taken the traditional education model and flipped it on its head to teach you how to code faster and better than ever before. Rigorous, fast paced, and focused on having you write your own code (not listening to lectures), their program is for doers.

In 8 weeks you can learn to build apps for the Web or for iOS. In the web class you'll learn how to build web apps using Ruby on Rails, Javascript / jQuery, Node.js, HTML5 and CSS3. In the iOS class you'll learn how to build native iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad.
