Django-nyc's goal is to create a community for those interested in Django to meet, share ideas, create, learn, and have a good time. The focus will be Django and web application design and development. Python will obviously be an underlining theme, but there are specific python groups focused on python solely and that's not us. We want to give Django the attention it deserves. Can't make it out to a Django-NYC meeting? Watch it live at http://www.livestream.com/djangonyc. Missed a meeting or …

Quality Assurance is a group for those interested in Quality Assurance, Web and Software Test Automation, QA Based Development, Ruby, Python and more.

There's a growing tech community in DUMBO and we want to foster that. Come by for some breakfast and meet your tech neighbors!

What an irony that a bunch of cynics would like to hang out with others, so let's just ignore it! This group is for cynics, for those who think they are cynics, for those who find the way the society functions preposterous, for those who are fed up by others, for those who are also fed up by the egos of their own, for those who have no self-esteem because they really don't care, and for those who are desperately trying to philosophize but consistently fail, or for those who just feel grumpy. Let …

This Dev Meet Up is a social gathering for developers to discuss geospatial technologies, complementary third-party tools, and development platforms (e.g., Silverlight, Java, Flex, JavaScript) that are supported by Esri. Presentations run the gamut of our community: from Web development to mobile location development for iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7 to automating tasks with Python. Developers of all levels of expertise are welcome, from seasoned GIS professionals to those new to geospatial d …

Once a month, on Saturday Morning, any and all NYC Web-related Start-upers and enthusiasts meet for Dim Sum in Chinatown to hang out and discuss technology and/or any fun new business idea.

If you've ever visited Hacker News, you've almost certainly seen the "Show HN" or "Ask HN" posts. Well, it's time to get off the Internet and tell us about it face to face. We'll provide you with our honest feedback, you provide us with a great hack, or idea. We'll give you 5 minutes to show off your tool, hack, library (did you just write a library to access the Meetup API in Go!?), whatever. We're language and software/hardware agnostic, so it's all fair game. After you present, it's an open f …

The name of this group is a bit of an oxymoron. After all, everyone knows business people can't write code and those who code don't understand business. This group is designed to challenge those assumptions. If you're a business person who wants to learn programming, you've come to the right place. And if you're a programmer who feels pigeon holed, this group is a good place to network yourself over to the business side. For our first series of events we're going to organize a study group f …

… **Or Python, Java, C, Perl, PHP, Haskell, Coq — we're language-agnostic!

Double X Tech is a group of women in technology, who are actively involved with technology. This is a place for lipstick lexers and pedicured python writers. We accept anyone who writes code, from professionals to self-taught wannabes, but please leave your marketing jargon and elevator pitch at the door. Infrequently asked questions: I'm not a developer, but I'm interested in learning more about technology. Can I come? Yes! But please leave any non-techy agendas elsewhere. XX Tech is not a …

Everybody grabs some food (you have to pay for your own, sorry), grabs a seat, and talks tech. There's no particular focus other than meeting some new people and having some interesting conversations. Credit goes out to James Dennis and Sean O'Connor for starting the first "tech breakfast" in DUMBO: http://www.meetup.com/DUMBO-Tech-Breakfast/

Get together with fellow hackers, tech Meetups from across NYC, and the best APIs around for the first ever tournament-style hackathon at Meetup HQ! Every programming language and platform has its strengths and weaknesses, its devoted fans and its bitter detractors. To celebrate the techno-diversity that makes software programming such a fascinating sport, we're hosting a series of hackathons at Meetup HQ... JavaScript in June PHP in July Python and Ruby in August FINAL BATTLE OF THE BRACES in S …

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, and doesn't want to, this probably isn't th …

… RoR versus Python? How can you create eyeballs and prevent users from gaming the system? Are you interested in the latest cutting-edge stuff from MIT Media Lab and Santa Fe Institute? How and where and why should you raise funding? In what marketplaces & tech should I invest? What might Peter Thiel and Fred Wilson think about this and that? What are the business models and technologies of firms such as kickstarter, innocentive, pivotal tracker, quid, bit.ly, meetup or mandalay? If you answered a …

Opani is a community of data people working together to understand humanity's rising river of information.
