What we're about

Public Group

London HalfStack (formerly The London Ajax User Group) is London's largest group of JavaScript, TypeScript and HTML5 developers. Started in 2010, the group has events at least once a month to discuss all things interesting in the desktop and mobile web world. We host meetup events, an annual conference, and JavaScript pub quizzes in London.

We meet the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 18:00 at the Skills Matter CodeNode. For the larger events we can accommodate approximately 125 guests. Hosts include Dylan Schiemann (Dojo, SitePen, and Intern), Piotr Zalewa (MooTools, JSFiddle), Mustafa Celik, Andy Richardson, and Joe Lee.

For each meetup, we have two 30-60 minute presentations by invited guests. After each event, we mingle at CodeNode and then usually head to a local pub and/or out for dinner. Software engineers, web developers, and anyone interested in learning more about JavaScript, TypeScript HTML5, and mobile should join.

We also host HalfStack (http://halfstackconf.com/), a one-day JavaScript conference in a Shoreditch pub each November, and occasional JavaScript pub quizzes.

See http://londonajax.com/ for videos from all of our past events.

We welcome new speakers, you can propose a talk (https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dEkwV3BsbWhEalJvSHlfd1dhMElXbGc6MQ#gid=0) to speak at an upcoming event. As long as the talk is not a vendor pitch and is relevant to our group, we will work to add you to our schedule.

We also welcome sponsors for our conferences and meetup events. Please contact us to discuss!
