On the 1st Tuesday each month at 7PM, 6 people get 5 minutes each to demo something cool to New York's tech community (geeks, investors, entrepreneurs, hackers, etc)
Discuss all Ruby and Ruby on Rails related topics, meet other developers and other interesting folks. Presentations, workshops, hack-fests and more. Meet other developers, find out about interesting projects and opportunities for work and potential employment.
Meet other local people who use Extreme Programming or Agile for software development.
The New York Extreme Programming Meetup has a particular interest in the application of XP and Agile software development for the Semantic Web. By nature XP.
Meet other local programmers interested in Ocaml, Haskell, SML, and other functional programming languages. Lisp and Scheme programmers are also welcome, but note that the focus of the group is on statically typed languages of the ML family.
