Web414 - Milwaukee's Web Community

November 2008 Web414 Meeting — Thursday, November 13th, 2008 — 7pm

Topics: Managed Virtualized Dedicated Servers, jQuery

Robb Myers from NetSonic will talk about how virtualization has taken the burden of managing a hosted server off of the customer and put it on the hosting company. It will also cover the benefits of resources, "crash" resistance, near seamless hardware upgrades and disaster recovery in hours rather than days.

Update: Looks like Brennan Stehling may do a little jQuery intro from his recent .NET Users Group presentation.

January 2009 Web414 Meeting — Thursday, January 8th, 2009 — 7pm

Topics: Simplifying Web Development, GroupCard

We will have discussion on complexity and simplicity in web development, and talk about what aspects of development are "too complex", what tools people use and how those tools affect workflow, and share best practices about making coding simpler. This is a language-agnostic discussion though we may talk about any web language, server or client side. Think about your own experience and be ready to share!

Also, we'll have the guys from GroupCard (a startup right here in Milwaukee) talking about how things have been for them. They were chosen as one of the five winners of Facebook's fbFund competition for their application.
