About Us
We are a non-profit group for developers in the Fredericton area. We generally meet one evening per month. It's a great way to network with other professional developers like yourself, learn some new stuff about software development, and meet new friends. We have many top level speakers, as well we often have really cool prizes to give away. The group is open to all interested in the Fredericton area. Membership is FREE, so sign up today!
Joining a user group gives you a chance to be part of a like minded community who deal with the same sorts of challenges you do, day in and day out. It can keep you motivated, interested, and can help you stay on top of technology.
