La Fosse is proud to co-organise the JavaScript London Meetup, hosted by Richard Moss and Sam Barcia. Bringing together a community of people passionate about JavaScript, we believe that the best way to learn is by doing – and it’s also the most rewarding.

Richard originally engaged with Sam and La Fosse during his latest role. Both Sam and Richard shared their keen interest in building the best community for JavaScript professionals, so together they committed to host more frequent and varied events, bringing together both their connections and experiences.
