What is Tech on the Tyne?
Tech on the Tyne is a free software development meetup run by Reed’s technology division for those who are looking to get ‘hands on’ with the latest technologies.
The events are based on a kata format – a structured learning routine – and in attending, you’ll discover exciting technologies to get your teeth into. All you need to do is bring your laptop.
The introduction to new tech is provided by the some of the best developers in the area. Each event is language agnostic, so you can interact with the tech however you develop. We offer a fair and open opportunity for those of all skill sets to experience something new, brush up your knowledge, or even discover a new approach from fellow learners.
This isn't designed to be a super serious, heads down event. The flow is loose, and collaboration is encouraged. Refreshments are provided.
