Networking with people in the industry

I have a job interview possibly lined up with people in the company I work for for a position as a Junior Software Developer. <br><br>I don't have the slightest idea of how to network with people in the industry. All the people I've dealt with for years are all in manufacturing and I don't even have an idea of how to start a conversation with people like this.<br><br>Any tips on how to network with people in the industry as a complete outsider?
