Refactor Phoenix

Engaging the best in the software developer community

Meet

Gather with your peers, geeks of all tribes.

Each month, Refactor Phoenix aims to assemble the curious and bright, developers, engineers, coders, and hackers.

Build

Take what you learn from Refactor Phoenix and go build better, smarter, sleeker software.

Refactor Phoenix aims to be both fun and practical.

Learn

Each month, learn from your peers and find out what’s new or on the horizon.

No lectures or preaching or grandstanding, but good conversation and technical talk.

But it’s a two-way street: Be open to new ideas and willing to talk about your own.
