October 2009 Meetup
Last year we titled our October meetup, “The Bleeding Edge of The Web”. Like a recurring nightmare, our topics this month again fit this bone-chilling theme. We dare you to drop in and be frightened by the latest technology to haunt the web.
Venue Note: We’re back at ETV again this month as the room in the Library wasn’t available. If anyone has a connection for a location that would be consistently available each month, we’d be love to hear about it.
The Lineup:
Bing Mashup
Chris Eargle (@kodefuguru)
In this talk, Chris will show how we can build an ASP.NET MVC website using various resources from around the web. He’ll be pulling in businesses from Bing Phonebook, displaying them with Bing Map and using Flickr to show photos of each business.
Google Wave 101
Rick Stilwell (@RickCaffeinated)
We’ve all heard about it, but very few people have received an invite to try out Google’s latest beta project, Google Wave. Rick was one of the earliest beta testers and will be telling us all about what it is, how to use it and how it will change the Web.
Featured Book:
Thanks to the user group partnerships advertised in the sidebar, we’ll be giving away a free book each month. This month we’ll be giving away a copy of Handcrafted CSS – More Bulletproof Web Design by Dan Cederholm. We’ll choose a random attendee from the sign-in sheet between the first and second talk. Be sure to show up for a chance to win.
When: October 28th, 2009 at 6pm
Where: SC ETV (map) – Bank of America Auditorium
Topic: Bing Mashup & Google Wave 101
RSVP: On Facebook
September 2009 Meetup Slides
It’s 10:30am the day after our last meeting and both presenters have posted their presentation slides on their respective websites. I believe that’s a Refresh Columbia record.
Presentation Slides:
- Automated Website Testing – Matt Hooper
- Developing Socially (Facebook Platform) – Jimmy Sawczuk
Thanks to our speakers and to everyone who came out for making this another great meetup. Look forward to seeing you all again on October 28th!
