Jordan is starting to offer web development classes to designers and other non-programmers, and thought it would be interesting to discuss with the group what everyone thinks "would be good concepts, techniques and approaches to teach, what pitfalls you've encountered when working with newbies (especially print designers who may be set in their pixel-perfect designy ways), etc". (Jordan Lev)
Demo of the Fabric library. It is actually written in Python but is a great general tool for deployment and other administrative-type tasks (Chris Forrette)

November2010 Meeting

Where : Shopigniter's Office When : Tuesday, Nov 16th, 6:30pm - 8pm'ish Pizza provided by Shopigniter for this meeting. Topic(s):

We'll start with a tech book swap. Most of us have a few tech manuals lying about that we never use, but that others would find useful. Many of us need a new tech book/s but have not yet picked one up, for one reason or another. Here's your chance to find unwanted books a good home, or to find a useful manual or three for yourself. Here's what happens: Those with unwanted books will bring them to the group and leave them in a common area. Then it's just a matter of everyone helping themselves. You don't have to bring any manuals to leave with manuals, and vice versa. Books left over at the end will be taken to Powell's Technical Books for their freebie bin, or possibly to Free Geek.
