Come to our first London Sencha Touch User Group Meetup on Tues 24th Jan 2012
We’ve got a great venue sorted and finalised a date of Tuesday, January 24, 2012, 6:30 PM to come and chat, share, listen and learn about all things Sencha Touch. If you are interested in cross platform mobile development (native and web) built in web technologies such as HTML5 and JavaScript then please come and join us.

Being our first event we will be starting off soft with overviews into Sencha Touch and mobile development with an aim of getting a feel from the community as how we want to structure the events and what we all want to learn and share with each other. With that in mind we are on the look out for those of you who want to give a talk at this or future events. They can be anything from 5min lightening talks up to 30min in-depth slots: show us something you’ve worked on or something neat that we’d find useful. Please do get in touch if you want to contribute (it means you wont have to listen to us too much!)
We’re really looking forward to meeting the rest of the Sencha community in London and learning more about mobile development.
UPDATE…. WE HAVE AN AGENDA:
We have 3 sessions planned for this event each lasting 20-30 minutes with an open floor Q&A session following each. We will start the group with a beer and a slice of pizza and move onto the 3 main sessions detailed below:
