Join us at Old Broadcasting House on 15th April from 6pm for a ’special edition’ Leeds GeekUp this month.  Dirk Ginader from Yahoo! is our guest speaker, on the topic of Java Script accessability.  If you haven’t been to a GeekUp before, its a monthly meet-up for a community of web designers, web developers, and other tech-minded folk from the North. Socials take place once a month in Chester, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Preston and Manchester and are always a lively place to share ideas and spread a little knowledge. GeekUp Leeds takes place every third Wednesday of the month. New visitors are very welcome to come along.
