London Developers – Takin’ It To The Pub

This is our monthly social event which incorporates members of The London Java Community and Graduate Development Communities.

We meet in the evening on the third Tuesday of every month in a private room at the Lvpo bar in Soho (http://www.lvpo.co.uk.... We usually attract at least 50 members so it is a lively event in which members both junior and senior can connect in a relaxed atmosphere and set the development world to rights. Free platters of food will be provided and we have negotiated a happy hour for the duration of the evening.

This is a chance to come along and meet and chat with other members of the London Technical Community. It is a great chance to meet other developers and has attracted members of all levels, I'll also be onsite so if anyone is looking for free recruitment advice it's a great chance to come along for a chat.

It is interesting to note that between the LJC and GDC we have a vast community of over 1200 people including:

- Senior technical architects/CTO’s

- Specialists in various technologies

- Open Source Project Leaders

- Entrepreneurs & Startup owners

- Technology creators

- Developers from a vast range of industries

With this in mind I thought I would put an extra spin on our social events. If there is anything you would love to speak to a specialist about let me know in advance and I’ll try to find someone that I can introduce you to. PLEASE NOTE this is not a recruitment effort, moreover a chance to meet a mentor or specialist that may be able to offer support/guidance in a particular area.

So if there is something that you would like to find out about let me know – either complete the questions upon signing up to the event or just send me an e-mail with 'Introduction' in the subject title and I will endeavor to make an introduction (e.g. something on the list below):

- Coding problems around a specific technology

- Recently graduated and looking for someone to give you industry advice

- Want to find out how to break into finance or contracting

- Interested to try a new language and want someone to suggest some good books

- Career / CV / Recruitment advice

- Looking for help for an open source project OR looking for an open source project and want advice on one to join

- Started interviewing people but want to discuss some new techniques

- Just new to London and want to meet some people with similar interests

Whatever your question just let me know. DISCLAIMER: As this is a free service it’s something I can’t guarantee but where possible I’ll do what I can to connect you with people that can help for you to meet at the pub.
