It's a twice-monthly developer meetup in Brighton with a focus on JavaScript and related technologies. Async has seen a remarkable input from the community, with local and visiting speakers talking about their technical discoveries and passions. Many of our sessions focus on specific subjects, such as using JavaScript on the server, or developing mobile web apps. Other meetups are more open and collaborative, e.g. show n’ tells and hack nights. We put as much emphasis into learning new things, as into coming together as a community and making connections that are useful in our daily work as web developers. Entry is free. Each meetup is followed by an evening social nearby.
