First London Developer Meetup

We held the first London EPiServer Meetup last Thursday, and I’m delighted to report that I had a great time!

Being serious though, I think I can safely say that everybody who turned up enjoyed themselves and thought the evening worthwhile. The majority (well all actually :)) of the feedback I’ve received has been positive, and we’ve definitely gathered enough momentum to make this a regular event on the calendar. Hopefully we’ll be able to squeeze another meet-up in – just before Christmas. If anybody is interested in presenting (or if there are any offers to host the next meetup – then please get in touch with me). I personally found it genuinely inspiring to be in the company of developers who are so committed and demonstrably passionate about their craft.

The program for the first meetup included:

Lee Crowe demonstrated his Global Search and Replace plugin which he’s now released on CodePlex
David Knipe gave an overview of EPiServer Mobile Center and explained how easy it is to push your own Gadget functionality through onto iOS devices.

and finally I hosted a informal chat entitled ‘Developing with EPiServer’, where everybody got involved, shared opinions and insights, and collectively we gathered some interesting feedback (which I’ll be passing onto EPiServer).

Also – a big thank you to Fortune Cookie for kindly agreeing to host the event.

Roll on next time…..
