Hey all!
We run a quarterly Meetup group here in where we host dev talks and have a general catch up (as most of you do at other User Groups across the world!). We wanted to share the content from our Meetups in case any of you from the community were interested in the topics we’re talking about. I’ll be updating the thread as we host more Meetup’s but I hope you enjoy the content so far!
Next Meetup: Friday Feb 3rd 2017
