Black Techies

This meetup exists because I was damn tired of being the only black person at other tech meetups. We aim to be a network of developers in NYC interested in becoming better, learning from each other and networking. Developers of all skill levels are welcome, from experienced hardcore, neckbeard hackers, to n00bs. If you want to be awesome, or more awesome, I hope you can find yourself at home here.

If you're an MBA who's never written a line of code, but has an awesome startup idea, this probably isn't the group for you. However, you might want to check out this one: http://www.meetup.com/blacksintech/

Past events

  • Data Structures (from Basic to Crazy); Building a web Scraper; Networking..

    3-4 Oct 2012 in New York, United States

    We're going back to our usual schedule of the first Wednesdays. Sorry for some of the confusion, my schedule got really hectic over the summer.In this meetup, we'll go over the basic CS data structures and when you should use them.We'll talk about building a web scraper (including using scraper wiki). Because, you know sometimes you need data that isn't in an API.

  • Meet and Greet

    23-24 May 2012 in , United States

    Hey Techies, We've been off-schedule lately, but I want to make sure we're still gathering and building the community. Let's have a more informal mixer so we can get to know each other. A location is needed, but anywhere in Manhattan/Uptown is game. Let's try to support one of our own businesses. Please suggest locations in the comments. Thanks and look forward to seeing you all, Kyle

    Hey Techies,Many of you have pulled me aside and said you have ideas, but aren't sure where to begin. So we're going to try something practical: launching an idea from start to finish in 2 meetups. We will launch a Twitter clone, with a special Black Techies twist.This meetup we'll design and create the views for the application we developed at our last meetup. We'll use Twitter Bootstrap and other tools to make an elegant front-end.More details to follow.
