I love attending tech meetups such as Girl Develop It, Women’s Collective Coding , Google Developer’s Group, Code for Boston to name a few, because they are extremely helpful. So I was uber excited when I saw an advert for a meetup in Lagos. I quickly contacted Celestine Omin, the guy behind the Nigerian Stock Exchange API, an ardent fan of Git and a GitHub evangelist. Below is detailed information on the event.

According to him, Friday, September 5th , 2014 Software Engineers and Technology enthusiasts will have an opportunity to network, interact and discuss everything about software version control in an event tagged “Lagos GitHub Meetup.”

The maiden edition of the event will take place at The Co-creation Hub, Yaba, Lagos Nigeria. Danish Khan and Luke Hefson both Engineers at GitHub will be on ground to meet and interact with engineers. The event, in addition to being a crash course on Git and GitHub, will have a Q&A session where participants will have the opportunity to ask questions.
