WTF is FRED?
FRED stands for FRont End Developers,
and is (as far as we can tell) the first
multi-city meetup for front-end devs.
FRED provides an outlet for front-end
developers to talk and share about
this exciting and crucial new craft.
Why?
So much to learn... Tools, workflows, boilerplates,
testing, different devices, browsers...
Let's help each
other out
What can you do?
Spread the word to other 'FREDs'

Here's a secret
Give a man a fish
"Give a developer a code
snippet and they can get
something working once.
Teach them how to code and
they can sit in front of a
computer, drink beer all day
and create cool sh*t."
