We’ve been running the React London community since 2014 and we’ve had a lot of fun, met a lot of great people and even hosted a conference that people came from all over the world to attend.

Mid last year Red Badger decided it was time for a React conference in London. We’ve been hosting the React London meetups for almost 3 years but we’ve never managed an event as big as a conference.

Last month all the Badgers plus a whole heap of our friends and partners headed off to Leipzig to spend the weekend in a castle. Red Badger is quite well known for throwing pretty fantastic parties (last year we took everyone to a private island)…

Last night we hosted the second “Functional Programming for the Web” meetup. We had quite a meaty line up - with Elm, Haskell AND Clojurescript all on the lineup.
