What we’re about
This group is for professional web and application designers and developers looking to network with others in the industry, learn about new or emerging technologies, and for anyone looking to learn web and or application development (beginner to advanced).
We talk design, share experiences with use of different tools & languages, critique sites & apps, talk industry, business, employment news, and share motivations and inspirations. This group is intended to become a hub for all today's technologies that make up the Internet as we know it.
We meet monthly in informal settings (usually over coffee, drink and /or food) to network and socialize with other fellow web development professionals and enthusiasts and listen to 1-2 member-led presentations about various programming topics.
Wanna speak? Get in touch! Our meetings usually last about 2 hours leaving two 30 minute spots for speakers. All we need ahead of time is a title and short description of your talk.
