That’s the last of EdinburghJS for the season - we wrapped up our talks with a visit from Sara Vieira (up from London) and Luigi Creazzo. We have a real community of people who regularly attend, and I’m pleased to say, lots of volunteers helping out. The talks will be back in September. I’m hoping to line up events on security, AI coding loops, and what’s new in JavaScript. If any of this sounds like something you’d like to speak about then please do reply to the bulletin!

I’ve organised a summer social for EdinburghJS and Scottish Technology Club folk: Thursday 16th July, 7pm at 56 North. All folks working in technology are welcome, even if you’ve not been to one of our events before. It’ll be a way to meet fellow technologists and developers in a relaxed and informal setting. If you attend another meetup then please do invite a crowd along!
