Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to become a part of a larger group, especially by meeting people in user groups. You now understand what user groups and meetups are, how to find a community that you can connect to, join, and participate in with purpose, along with developing clear objectives for your participation and taking action to increase your involvement toward leadership of the group.
In the next chapter, we will explore how to grow your network using social media. We will discuss the basics of social media for technical career development, personal versus professional social media usage, building your online presence, reaching out to people, and having meaningful conversations.
