Atlanta Web Design Group
The AWDG is for anyone interested in Web design and development. From coders to visual artists, we all have something to learn from each other. We aim to provide a place for Web professionals to meet new people, exchange ideas, learn new things, and have a little fun too.
The group features some of the best web designers from all over the country speak on topics from CSS and Javascript to running a freelance business to finding your creative inspiration. You are sure to leave each event with something that you can apply in your daily work.
It is a great place to learn from your peers and colleagues, build new relationships, and grow within the local web community. After each meetup we go to a local bar or restaurant for some networking and social time.
Check out the schedule for more info and be sure to join us at the next Meetup. We are looking forward to meeting you.

It's A Matter of Trust ~ Carl Smith
29-30 Oct 2009 in Atlanta, United States
People often talk about usability and learnability when discussing web and application development. Things have to be intuitive and familiar to increase conversions and trial... blah blah blah. All of this is really important. But what does it really boil down to? It's all a matter of trust. Trust between the user and the developer. Between the user and the designer. Ultimately trust is allowing yourself to become vulnerable based on a positive expectation. So how do you build trust?

16-17 Sep 2009 in Atlanta, United States
As we work to create effective Web sites, embrace Web standards, and hone our skill, there's one constant element that keeps our work on edge: The Web browser. Whether a simple text browser on a terminal such as Lynx or a full desktop suite such as Opera, the evolution of browsers as the primary piece of interpretive software is an area often overlooked.
