History

The developer user group started in 2010 when Mark Pearl & Terence Kruger launched the Programming Languages User Group. Over time the group evolved to be about more than just programming languages and was renamed the Developer User Group.

The Johannesburg Developer User Group was originally hosted by Microsoft and was a launch partner in their Community Nights initiative.

In 2014, the Developer User Group officially became a non-profit organisation.

In 2014, Terence Kruger & Botha van der Vyver launched the Pretoria chapter of the group, which was hosted by Momentum.

In 2018, the Cape Town chapter of the user group was launched.

In 2020, the user group moved to a hybrid approach with all in-person events shared online or entirely online.

Organisers

DevUG is run by a team of volunteers and assistants. Without their hard work it would not be possible for the group to exist.
