Toledo Tech Events

This is a social event for web geeks & enthusiasts in Toledo and surrounding areas. Toledo Geek Dinner provides Social Networking for Toledo's Digital Entrepreneurs. Join ToledoGeeks for interesting conversations, networking and co-working.

Socialize with us starting at 5:30 PM we'll begin ordering dinner around 6:00 PM. All are welcome. We're setting up meetings for the first Wednesday of the month.

We'll be talking tech, the latest happenings/trends etc. We are eclectic, and members range from all breeds/standards of coders to Social Media gurus to novices. Is Web Design your thing? No problem, come on in. Really dig SEO? Come on by, love to meet you!

The idea behind this group is for Web Pros from Toledo/ BG /SE Michigan to meet and interact. Web pros need each other and should know who's who.

So, you have a web site. Your own soapbox to the world. As a developer, it seems easy for us to claim a spot on the world wide web, set up shop, customize the look and feel, and throw up some content. The hard part is attracting people to your new little flag in the sand. Hey, we majored in Computer Science, not Marketing. But there is hope: one hour of tips, tricks, and general how-to about promoting your site using programming, power toys, and other technical prowess. Our discussion will include ways to attract and appeal to search engine spiders using better tools that are freely available and better code that doesn't include learning new languages or frameworks.

NWNUG exists in and for the community to promote learning, share enthusiasm, and provide a forum for discussion regarding Microsoft's .NET technology. Professionals, novices, students, enthusiasts, and even newbies are welcome.

Toledo Geeks and Toledo Web Pros are meeting and mixing at Aktion Associates HQ in Maumee, OH.

Details about this event will be posted here: http://www.meetup.com/Toledo-Web-Design/events/50021062/ Please RSVP and add guests if you have them. Food will be provided by Aktion.

I am excited to announce and welcome our September speaker, Jeff Cogswell. Jeff is a software developer and trainer, and owner of Cogsmedia Training. He has 25 years of experience in software development, having focused the last 10 years almost exclusively on web development. About eight years ago he realized JavaScript was soon going to be required knowledge of any web developer, and began mastering it. He has written over a dozen books, including C++ All-in-One for Dummies.

I've asked him to help us understand how he uses JavaScript plus what excites him about new JavaScript technologies.

This event is for Google Developers and the Google-curious,

The Detroit and Ann Arbor Chapters of the Google Developers Group (GDG) are proud to host the Fifth Annual Michigan Google Developers DevFest on Saturday, April 22, 2017 in Downtown Detroit.

We will be taking a trip up to experience it first hand. If you would like to go, purchase tickets as soon as you can to get the early discount before prices rise. (Purchase tickets here: Eventbrite ).

This is the best conference you'll attend this year for Google (unless you are going to Google/IO, you lucky duck).
