November Meeting

[Ezra Parker]

Hi everyone, it's that time again -- we will be holding our next
meeting this Thursday, November 12th at the regular time (6:15 pm for
those who are interested in networking, with the main session starting
at 7:00) and place (room 5-16 of the C/L/A building at Cal Poly
Pomona). Please see the meetings page on our blog for more details and
directions:

Instead of an "eyes-front" presentation, we've decided to try
something a little bit different this month: we're going to have a
"mini code jam" focusing on the use of the jQuery UI user interface
library. The idea here is to first have a brief introduction to the
technology, after which we will encourage everyone who wishes to
participate to write a small demo (whatever can be done in about an
hour of coding), which they will then share with the group.

Anyone who doesn't have any experience with jQuery itself (the core
library, not the UI widgets) may wish to familiarize themselves with
the basics beforehand -- the following presentation from Ben Nadel is
an excellent introduction to jQuery:

We'll also have at least one person providing assistance for those who
might need a bit of extra help. We'd love to have as much active
participation as possible, as this will provide the best learning
experience for everyone involved.

Finally, as this session will not necessarily require ColdFusion, we
should be able to make use of the lab's computers, so a laptop is not
a requirement.

As usual, we will need to submit a request for parking permits by the
end of the day today, so please respond to this thread to confirm that
you wish to attend.

We hope to see you all there!

Anyone else, or is it just going to be me and Kalen?
