York Developers
Tech Community. Driven by you, supported by YorkDevelopers.
YorkDevelopers aim to advance education for public benefit to the IT and the Software Engineering sector for all age groups.
We support tech non-profit groups who have a similar mission and values and help promote their efforts to a wider audience in the City of York and throughout the Yorkshire region. We are a group of dedicated software and IT professionals who lead by example and meet often to share knowledge and experiences.
We believe that like-minded individuals in tech can grow community centred around a platform, skill or methodology.
We run many meetups and we also are lead organisers of YorkTechFest.

YorkDevelopers is a registered Charity in the UK. Ref #1177591
Therefore to support our community work we need a little helping hand to continue to serve the Software Community by supporting meetups and delivering annual events.
MyDonate is a free fundraising service where every penny goes direct to the charity. There are no fees and no cuts taken!
Over 30 AgileYorkers joined us for a celebration of agileYork's 1st birthday! We had a cake to celebrate our agile journey.
12 months have passed and we've discovered so much along the way. We delivered a retrospective to learn just how a meetup called agileYork was formed using Agile!
From a very simple idea as a group tested assumptions, experimented with formats and collectively built a meetup through feedback.
See [the photos from the event][agile-york-next-event] on our meetup page!

On Thursday 26th April 2018, YorkDevelopers will be speaking about "Forming Tech Communities" at the Science City York [TechYork][tech-york-april-link] event in York City Centre.
We will be talking about how York Developers support technical professionals to host events to share knowledge about Tech. We provide the support to enable technical professionals to host events to form groups for like-minded people to share specialist knowledge. In the ethos of our organisation, we now wish to share our experiences with the wider tech-business community, represented by [Science City York][science-city-york-link] at the [TechYork][tech-york-april-link] event.

On Saturday 24th March 2018, YorkDevelopers were at the University of York to help out on a free one day programming course for children aged 10-12.
This event was delivered by [The Travelling Code Camp][travelling-code-camp-link] in association with the
[York Digital City][digitalyork-link] "Connecting Kids" #CodeYork initiative.
YorkDevelopers were consulted in reviewing the course material which covered the basics of coding.
Over 20 children attended and as you can see the organisers were very pleased how successful the day went :-)
