MENA Devs was first launched in January, 2015 with the purpose of connecting Software Developers, Engineers and Computer Enthusiasts in the MENA region. What started as a Slack group has evolved to become a vibrant community with hundreds of members engaging in daily discussions in software, and web development, tools of the trade, work methodologies and workflows, and technical management styles (to name a few of the popular topics).
We are looking forward to your active contributions to the community while appreciating you following our basic guidelines and Code of Conduct (CoC):
