January meeting

[Joel Dart]

Saturday is another dojo and I hear that last months went well/had good energy. Curious if there were specific next steps anyone heard for this months direction?

[Jon Nolen]

We are going to have at least one older kid this time so it might be
nice to emphasize actual code. Processing might be a good choice
because it is built for seeing a result and the learning tutorials are
really good.

The kinect project generated a lot of energy, but I'm a terrible
programmer and we couldn't get the kick mechanic to work reliably.

Processing or processing js. The latter is what Resig uses for the Khan Academy cs courses. I don't have experience in either, so I can defer to anyone who does have such experience. Do you know the experience level or interests of the older kid? 

Should we take another try at the kinect project or maybe work on hacking some of the examples? was there a sense that they wanted to go further?

For web styling, I was thinking of maybe introducing bootstrap. Having a nice complete system might make more sense of all the building blocks that go into classes and id's and also helps be the quick win. Is this a terrible idea doomed to failure?
