Ad-Hoc Meetups

We’re doing ad-hoc meetings on any of the chapters that we’d like to discuss together. In this book, there are some chapters that some might find of interest and other chapters that others might find of interest. Where there’s enough interest together on one chapter, then we can do an ad-hoc meetup.
