#TechTuesday @ MOO

*The New Shiny* - JavaScript Development in 2016

This month's #TechTuesday is all about Modern JavaScript Frameworks AKA 'The New Shiny'

We've got some great speakers giving 20 minute talks on some of the major JavaScript frameworks, and we'll look into the pros, cons and applications of each framework throughout. Each talk will include a brief Q&A session, and after the talks they'll be an opportunity to network over a few drinks and nibbles.

The event starts at 6:30pm - with talks kicking off from 7pm (talks finishing at approximately 9pm) & will run until 10pm

FAQs

Are recruiters (internal or external) allowed to attend?

Afraid not - this night is all about Tech!

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?

MOO is right next to Farringdon underground/overground station, so this is likely the best connection. There is no parking especially close to the building

What can/can't I bring to the event?

If you're unsure of what you can/can't bring please check with toddk@moo.com. As the building is a shared space we cannot allow dogs (or any other animals for that matter)

Where can I contact the organiser with any questions?

Get in touch with toddk@moo.com for any other questions.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No - we will have a register on the day so will just need your name

Is there a last entry?

Yes - as we're part of a shared building please arrive no later than 7:15pm (though talks start at 7pm, so we'd suggest getting here before then anyway!)
