WELCOME TO CODE MESH LDN

TUTORIALS - 06 NOV/2019
CONFERENCE - 07-08 NOV/2019

Code Mesh LDN is a two-day conference, bringing together users and speakers of different functional programming languages and alternative tech.

We bring together a wide range of alternative technologies and programming languages and the wonderful crazy people who use them to solve real-world problems in software industry. We promote “the right tools for the job", as opposed to automatically choosing the tools at hand. And by ‘tools’ we mean technologies, languages, libraries, databases, operating systems, hardware platforms, or more generally techniques, styles or paradigms.

In the spirit of learning from one another, it encourages the sharing of innovative ideas, through inspiring projects, top talks, in-depth tutorials, and networking opportunities.
