Being part of software development communities is more important than you might think.
Your choice of programming communities will often determine the pace of your progression in your particular language or field of expertise. Communities provide a one of a kind learning experience. Programming communities may give you up-to-date information and problem-solving, insightful answers and new perspectives, tips and tricks for all-level programmers, links to resources, talks and research papers. But also, what is very important to highlight is that communities reunite code buddies, potential partners and like minded people. Software development communities force improvements and innovation through events, open source projects and other initiatives.
Recognizing that there are hundreds of online and offline software development communities out there, I decided to speak with Apiumhub developers to list down the best and active ones in Barcelona.
