I am thinking about moving to Hong Kong to take a NodeJS // mongoDB job. I'm also interested in teaching and connecting with other Ruby and/or JS developers. Is there a strong community of startup developers there? From what I could on the job boards, most of the development is PHP and jQuery.

Any other insights about relocating to the Hong Kong development community are much appreciated!

Thanks!
Weston

I personally think there are plenty, and depend on your lifestyle you could see if you want to get employed or take outsource jobs. Codeholics group and RoR is a good place for you to find people who need developers.

I think not many startups post jobs on job board since they are expensive

If you want to connect with other developers in Hong Kong
Try Codeholics group
This group is merged into Codeholics already

Welcome Weston,

I agree with William and Pickachu, most startups will post on Codeaholics or RoRHK. Some people will post on JobsDB / CareerTimes but they tend to be larger corporations.

I've found the majority of code done in Hong Kong is java / .net but the scene is growing for Ruby, Python and others.
