//Casual Code & Connect//
Join us for a night of casual coding and networking! Come work on a project, do some exercises or tutorials, pair program, or absorb by osmosis. All levels of expertise are welcome and we strongly encourage you to ask questions, exchange ideas, talk about what you want to learn.

We will start the Meetup with introductions and some lightning talks! If you’re interested in giving a lightning talk, prepare 5 minutes of material and we’ll put you “on stage.” Remember that the primary purpose of these talks is to get practice speaking in front of an audience, and to receive candid feedback from peers!

Happy Coding (:
