Open Tech Calendar

Welcome back after the summer break :-)

We start earlier this time around, because it is quite a special event. It is a combined event for both React Edinburgh and Node.js Edinburgh meetups.

We have an absolute pleasure to let you know that Anna Henningsen is coming to give us a Node.js talk. Anna is quite famous Node.js core contributor. You can see the proof using the link below. She is all over the Node.js codebase :-)

We also have Michał Osadnik come and talk about exciting newly released React Navigation v5.

Don't forget about our BBQ Party :-)

In this talk, we'll take a look at how a component-first API will look like in react Navigation.
