New Meetup Group: Business People Who Code
I just organized a new meetup group called Business People Who Code. Here’s the basic premise as I described it on the Meetup website for the group:
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 for anyone interested in learning the C programming language.
So far the response has been great (26 members and counting including some familiar faces from NYTM & NextNY) despite my having invested very little effort thus far in promoting it. I’m looking forward to our first event!
September is the best time of year in New York.
