Web414 - Milwaukee's Web Community

More info at: www.meetup.com/multimedia/

The "Greater Milwaukee Multimedia Consortium" holds monthly, daytime meetups in the Brookfield area.

This group is for individuals, freelancers, and small business owners interested in sharing, learning, growing, and contributing to their community in the area graphic design, video, web development, copywriting, and more.

If you have a full time job that keeps you busy during the work day, perhaps you can ask your supervisor for an early lunch, or explain how participating in the GMMC can benefit your company.

I hope to see you at this meeting.

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.
