About us
OKC WebDevs is a multi-language programming group in Oklahoma City that focuses on all technologies revolving around web development. This includes both front-end and back-end languages such as JavaScript, Python, C#, Ruby, PHP, HTML/CSS, and let’s be honest - practically any programming language.
In addition to web development, we also aim to be a general purpose programming group, so we will often have talks that discuss non-web related topics such as DevOps, AI / ML, mobile development, software tools and libraries, game development, project management, and more.
We typically meet in-person at Clevyr (free and easy parking) every other month for an hour over lunch on the 3rd Tuesday of that month, where you can get a FREE lunch, listen to expert speakers, engage in QA, and network with your fellow devs; these events are streamed on Techlahoma's Twitch channel, and eventually uploaded to Techlahoma's YouTube channel. During the other months, we also meet for evening social events so we can say hi to one another! Please join us, we'd love to see you.

Here's our lineup:- Misty Durham

But wait—what are lightning talks? We're glad you asked: a lightning talk is a short, 5–10 minute talk about anything you find interesting, and we typically feature 3–4 talks total at a Lightning Talk meetup. Topics can range from a personal project to a new technology, or just something that makes you think, "Hey, I bet other people would like to know about this." It's a great way for you—as an attendee and speaker—to learn about a lot of new things.
If you're a first-time speaker, lightning talks are a great way to step out of your comfort zone and get up on stage. We'll work with you every step of the way to make sure you feel comfortable and ready to give your talk.
Street parking is free. We'll head out for dinner and drinks afterward to keep the conversation going—feel free to join us even if you didn't make it to the event itself! Location TBD.
Interested in speaking at a future event? Hit up Aaron Krauss (thecodeboss) or Jonas Arroyo (Jonas Arroyo) in the Techlahoma Slack community. Not on Slack yet? Find someone who already is (you'll find plenty at each meetup), and they can invite you. We often have a variety of speaking opportunities, including shorter formats that are perfect for easing into your first talk.
