QueensJS is proud to announce our inaugural meetup! Our first event will be August 6th at the Raven’s Head Pub in Astoria on 38th & Broadway, just around the corner from the Steinway MR stop and 7 short streets over from the Broadway NQ stop.
We are very excited about our first event and will be updating this event when we have finalized our speaker roster! If you haven't already, please follow us on Twitter at @queens_js for more up-to-date announcements.
Your speakers for the evening:
• Mr. Speaker (aka Earle Castledine) @mrspeaker, who will discuss "Gonzo Gamedev with Javascript"
• Joel Kemp @mrjoelkemp, who will elucidate us on "Grunt, Using Grunt, To Grunt While You Grunt"
• Lavoisier Cornerstone @lavoisier_GTHU, who will inform us about "Why I Learned to Code: The Story of a Rapper Turned Hacker"
QueensJS expects all speakers and attendees to follow the JSConf code of conduct (http://jsconf.com/codeofconduct.html).
RSVPs, due to limited seating, will cost $5. All proceeds go towards charities that work to increase code literacy among NYC youth. There are no refunds, but you are more than welcome to transfer tickets.
If you would like to sponsor or speak at one of our events, please email us at organizers @ queensjs.com!
