Rather than accepting my fate as a legacy developer in the leafy suburbs, I have decided that I would start my own Meetup. I cannot be the only one after all.
Granted this all sounds a little dramatic for Zone 4. Especially when I'm talking about areas like Walthamstow, the new hipster location, move over Shoreditch... I cannot be the only techie feeling like this.
With out further adae I present to you Waltham Forest Tech.
First and foremost this is going to be friendly environment to share some knowledge and hopefully gain some. My Walthamstow utopia is where everyone understands software engineering and with that I promote that every passionate person comes along.
I'm looking to build a core group of people that are driven by learning or mentoring and somewhere you can come ask questions. In addition to this somewhere you can have a good beer :). Later with aspirations of host hackathon and presentations where people are interested to do so.
So if you are local to Waltham Forest and want to meet likeminded people, develop skills and network please sign up and come along.
Sorry but no recruiters ;)
