This month we'll be welcoming:

**Alex Efthymiou - Trick or Treat: Next.js Advanced Routing Patterns**

In this talk we’ll explore some out of the box Next.js routing patterns that will help transform how you build your web applications. We’ll dive into parallel routes, intercepting paths and deep linking, and discuss why architectural planning and understanding your framework before coding can save you from routing nightmares later.

**Luke Howsam - expo-router, the universal router (adaptive & resilient)**

Expo Router, a file-based routing framework for React Native that makes it easier to build apps that run beautifully on Android, iOS, and the web. By leaning on native technologies like Jetpack Compose, SwiftUI, and the browser, Expo Router gives both solo devs and teams a way to create unified cross-platform experiences—without leaving behind the web primitives they already know.

**Post-meetup social**
After the talks we'll head to socialise at the nearby Triple Point Brewery + Bar. They serve a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, plus food from Twisted Burger Co. See https://triplepointbrewing.co.uk/ for more details. One of our volunteers will show you the way.
