20th Node.js User Group Belgium Meetup @ Qover

Hi everyone,

it's been a while since our previous meetup but the js.be crew and I are very happy to announce our 20th Node.js User Group Belgium meetup.

The meetup will be hosted by Qover (https://qover.me/) - one of Belgium's finest #insurtech scaleups and the only one with an FSMA license - in Brussels (near Brussels North train station and the Botanique). They're looking to hire 10-15 additional JavaScript developers this year!

Qover will provide burgers and special beers.

Agenda:

• 18h30: welcome + food

• 19h00: first talk: introduction to Node.js

• 19h45: questions + bio break

• 20h00: second talk: technical talk by Qover

• 21h00: aftermath + closure

From zero to live in 9 months ! #hackinginsurance

Qover: We’ll share our fullstack JavaScript startup story so you can learn from our experience and we can learn from yours! We’ll tell you how our business idea materialized into a functional sets of apps, and what technical challenges we encountered in the process.

Stack: [ Node, React, Redux, JSONB, AWS]

Introduction to Node.js

The node.js ecosystem has changed a lot in recent years, and it's also being used in lots of front-end tools which means lots of front-end people are getting introduced to the ecosystem. So a re-introduction to the Node.js landscape by Michiel and Gilles De Mey is very welcome!
