With April’s meetup only days away we’re pleased to have our own Simon Downes giving us An Introduction to Microservices.

So come and join us at the normal venue of The Student Room by Brighton Station (here’s how to find us) anytime from 18:15 on Monday 16th April, grab a drink and have a chat.  The talks start around 19:15 with the usual pizza, drinks, and in-depth discussion of whatever it is you want to discuss.

We look forward to seeing you there, and remember; this is a user group and would be nothing without you.  As part of that, we’d also love it if you would consider giving a talk sometime.  If you fancy that then let us know! Read More

Ho ho ho and all that! This month, we wanted to do something a bit special for Christmas, so on Monday 18th December, we’ll be meeting up not at our usual venue, but at Holiday Taxis on Black Lion Street (details below) for a night of festive cheer, mince pies, and teaching Alexa Christmas carols … or something like that.
