Meetups

[Jamund Ferguson]

Hey All,

Our last meetup was pretty excellent.

I spoke about what it takes to support Opera Mini and why it matters.

Basically I point out that Opera Mini is a really popular browser for mobile web, so it's worth supporting. Even complex JS apps using backbone can support it without too much work (think IE8 support).

Here are my slides:

Rob Middleton spoke about mobile web performance.

Great stuff.

There's a new discussion up the meetup.com site asking for topics for future meetups. Add your thoughts:

I'd love to learn about the following (at least):

• WebGL
  
• Designing Mobile Apps/Websites
  
• Styling HTML5 Forms
  
• HTML5 Game Frameworks
  
• HTML5/CSS/JavaScript Basics
• IDEs for web programming
  

Let's also chat about if lunch meetups work better for some people. I'm happy to do 6 night-time meetups and 6 lunch meetings a year (or whatever).
