forLoop Kampala is organizing a meetup for all software developers in Uganda. Themed All Java everything or All Js everything, the event will focus on Java. (See also: Kampala Innovation Week 2017 Set for end of November).
Ever wondered if JavaScript is a programming language or a scripting language, whether it’s a server-side scripting language or client side.
Though being one of the most misunderstood languages, JavaScript is being used everywhere. The use of JavaScript has changed dramatically over the years and so has the language itself.
The JS meetup on the 2nd of December, 2017 will aim at exploring the above. It will take place at The Innovation Village, Ntinda from 10.00 AM. The meetup will also have Tech talks, Flash talks, and Open Discussion.
Four speakers for the event have been named so far. These include; Lorna Maria, who'll talk about developer communities, Ronald Kasendwa, to talk about react native, Christian Nuwamba talking about Vue Js and lastly Kato Julius talking about offline first (Chrome Apps).
Launched in July 2017, forLoop Kampala is a community of software developers. It is part of the wider forLoop Africa - which was founded in 2016 as a community for every and any software developer.
It is rumored that Africa's Talking invested around $20,000 in the forLoop Africa community in October 2017. This was to help it carry out its activities. However, when we reached out to Graham Ingokho, Africa's Talking's Developer Outreach, he neither confirmed nor denied the rumor.
His reply was that "we will send you a press release shortly covering our engagement with forLoop." That was two weeks ago, and we're still waiting.
