Tuesday, November 2, 4 p.m. – Beer && Code
Omaha – Opperman’s Pub (14457 F Street)
Beer && Code is a time for programmers to either socialize about programming or actually conduct the act of programing; while having a tasty drink. Preferably both, but some people can’t do both. If you don’t drink alcohol, no problem most places have N/A beers, Root Beers, soda, etc.
