October Meetup - Self editing sites & internal tools

EdinburghJS is back at Perk on Tuesday 20 October, the city's main JavaScript community meetup. It's a free night, open to anyone who writes for the web, and it runs monthly throughout the year. The format is kept low-key: two talks followed by questions, with the room staying on afterwards to chat. The Perk café setting keeps the whole thing closer to a conversation than a conference.

This month's theme is the unglamorous work that eats up real engineering time. Phil Holden talks about building a self-editing website, and Alexey Golev covers building internal tools. Rishav Dhar adds a third talk, a Bash-to-TypeScript story. It's a night for front-end and full-stack developers to compare notes without a vendor in the mix, and it'll sit best with web developers, agency teams and anyone maintaining a CMS someone else has to use.

The series is presented by the Scottish Technology Club, a community for technologists in and connected to Scotland. They run regular developer events, publish a weekly bulletin of events, content and jobs from across the country, and maintain an active Discord server.

It starts at 18:30 at Perk, 3rd Floor, Nova House, 3 Ponton Street, Edinburgh. Entry is free and open to anyone who writes for the web.
