It's all about you

Are you a JavaScript enthusiast? Wether you're a newbie or an old-hand, OttawaJS meetups are a great place to meet your peers. We are a group of JavaScript and NodeJS enthusiasts in Ottawa. We meet to share information, demos, new technologies, ask questions and learn together. We cover client-side and server-side JavaScript innovation in the local tech community.

The OttawaJS group meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month at the Adobe Building. We try to have a couple of presentations each month that cover a variety of topics from beginner to advanced.

History

Milestones along our path.

  • Summer 2011

    Our Humble Beginnings

    Darren DeRidder founded this group in 2011, with a vision of gathering like-minded enthusiasts for JavaScript and Node.js development.

  • June 2012

    Joining Meetup.com

    This was quite instrumental in growing the group.

  • February 2014

    500 member milestone

    This is when we reached the 500 member mark on meetup.com. We are now about a thousand strong, with new members every month, and about a hundred members attending each meetup (mostly due to space limitations!).
