Designing Components for Developers
Relationships between designers and developers can get a little strained some times. Providing the right information in your designs will keep those relationships healthy and productive.

Good UX Starts Good Conversations
UX/UI is storytelling; communications is storytelling and those who tell stories effectively shape the narrative of society. The intersection between UX/UI and communications is strong. To understand the parallels between the two processes of each discipline can help develop better products and in tern better serve your publics. This is what we will be exploring, how the two disciplines complement one another, principles of corporate communications strategy that can be applied to UX/UI and how good UX/UI is integral to successful communications tactics.

London Front-end Development Meetup
Hang out and discuss JavaScript, CSS and other front-end related tips, tricks, hacks, and frameworks with some of the other local developers. Show off cool stuff you've done and learn about what else is going on in the community. No pressure, no mandatory presentations. But we always like feedback and speakers!

London Full Stack.
A community group for anyone interested in the full spectrum of web software development. The group started as the London PHP meet-up (Derek Martin and Brad Brothers) but the scope was expanded to shift from a niched meetup to a community group that is relatively stack agnostic. Sometimes we have talks and sometimes we all meet and hangout. We cover whatever is of interest to the community.
Organizers: Joe Lindsay
