DC Area Meetups Are Back in 2023
Something I have really missed from the before-times are programmer meetups. They were great to get together with fellow fans of frameworks, aficionados of languages and people who are just interested to learn more. Plus you might have some tasty snacks.
This is going to be a fun week. I'm planning on going to 3 meetups!
1 DC iOS #
Topic: Custom Instruments
When: Tuesday April 11, 2023 at 6pm EDT
Where: Capital One, Tysons, VA
Nearby Metro Station: McLean - Silver Line
Organizers: "DC iOS returns to the Capital One campus for our next meetup! Come and meet with fellow Apple developers in the DC Area, enjoy some food, networking, and a great tech talk!"
Why I'm going: "I've been writing some iOS apps at Cvent as part of my role there. It'll also be fun to say hi to some old friends from my Capital One days."
2 DMV Langchain Huddle #
Topic: This is the first one!
When: Wednesday April 12, 2023 at 6pm EDT
Where: Industrious, Arlington, VA
Nearby Metro Station: Court House - Orange / Silver Line
Organizers: "Time to hang out and talk all things LangChain and LangChain adjacent. Bring some code to demo if you want. Free pizza and snacks!"
Why I'm going: "I'm diving deep into AI and LLMs. One of the up and coming frameworks for building LLM-powered apps is LangChain, which comes in both Python and TypeScript/JavaScript flavors. It'll be interesting to see what other people are doing with it. I'm thinking about contributing to LangChainJS."
3 NOVA Code and Coffee #
Topic: [145] VIGET - avoid allergies, write code 😂
When: Saturday April 15, 2023 at 9am EDT
Where: Viget, Falls Church, VA
Nearby Metro Station: East Falls Church - Orange Line
Organizers: "NOVA Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal, co-working session. People of all skill levels are invited. The concept is simple, bring a laptop and ideas, we'll provide the coffee and tea (and donuts!)."
Why I'm going: "This is actually the first meetup I went to post-lockdowns back in December 2022. There are some great people there and it is a friendly weekend vibe."
