Meet others interested in all aspects of Graphic/Web Design, UX Design & Development. Gather to discuss Web related Graphic Design, User Experience Design, Programming, Databases, Standards & New Web Technology. Make valuable contacts and share experiences. Open to anyone interested in learning & presenting anything Web Development.
Group Meetups should be in the spirit of Barcamp in that everyone is active during a presentation - WIKIPEDIA: "BarCamp is an international network of user-generated conferences (or unconferences). They are open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants."
I plan to cover everything from:
Graphic designWeb Personas, wireframes, Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, Gimp, , Logo Design, Print, Business cards... web design (Front end)HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, Mootools Web development (Back end) PHP, ASP, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, Sproutcore, Cappuccino (no, it is not the coffee!)... CMS Wordpress, Drupal, joomla, MagentoCommerce... social networkingTwitter/facebook APIs and all that stuff... smartphones & tablets developmentiPhone, Android devices, iPad... Web & email marketing SEO and web site optimization (A/B split testing...) Project management SVN, Trac, Redmine, Bascamp... Client managementwriting creative brief, need analysis, proposals, contracts... ... and of course we will talk about the latest technologies (HTML5, CSS3, Objective-J...) and the future of the web.
... Basically, anything you can think of.
This group is also meant to connect professionals from different backgrounds together... and, if not... well, at least we will learn new skills and hopefully become a better designer/developer which is important in an always evolving web!
I am just starting this group so feel free to share your own ideas and why not doing your own presentation?!
We will wait for numbers to grow before arranging the first meetup.
