What weβre about
Get "hooked" into the Detroit Software Developer community! Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned developer, designer or product manager this community is welcome to all who are interested in Software Development & Software Startups in Detroit!
Each month we will either host a meetup that features a speaker/workshop on a technical or startup-related topic or have a happy hour in downtown Detroit.
If you are interested in presenting, would like to suggest a topic, or just want to get active in the community, please contact Louis Gelinas or Phil Borel!
Note: Previously "useDetroitReactDevs();" - we are expanding our scope to address the needs of all software development stakeholders
