Hey Everyone,
Hacker Dojo canceled our meeting location due to fire code restrictions. They are clamping down on events to keep it to a max of 49 attendees.
I'm looking for a new location for our January meeting. Would be open to moving permanently if anyone has contacts at a company that can accommodate between 50 to 150 attendees per month.
I'll send out a follow up email the first week of January to confirm the new location for January's meeting.
We'll have three speakers for this event all talking prototyping.

Why (and How) to Rapidly Prototype for Multiple Devices
The online world is changing, and new devices are becoming both more important and more varied. Building prototypes for web sites and web apps is getting harder, and the need to have a working prototype to use and get feedback on is more critical than ever. In this talk we'll show you how to use Foundation, a new CSS/HTML/JS framework, to quickly prototype sites and web apps that work on any kind of device, at any resolutions, with a variety of capabilities and constraints. We'll look at creating complex layouts in minutes that let you easily try out different experiences and different JS interactions. The key to success in the new online world is rapid prototyping and iteration, so come hear about a slick new way to get things done.

Prototyping and building mobile apps in the cloud In this cool session you will learn how to build HTML5 and native apps using Tiggr. Tiggr is a cloud-based mobile apps builder that uses HTML5, jQuery Mobile, REST, and PhoneGap to build apps. A real mobile app will be prototyped and built during the session, which attendees will be able to run and test on their own devices. Max Katz is a Developer Evangelist for Tiggr Mobile Apps Builder at Exadel.
