The Bootstrap Web Subgroup (aka Web 2.0 Subgroup) is for founders of bootstrap businesses who have an interest in web technology. You don't have to have a web company per se - we all use the web as part of our business. Participation in our monthly meetings and ongoing online conversations is a great way to get and remain knowledgeable about best practices and new technologies. Subgroup leaders are Jon Lebkowsky, jonl ~at~ socialwebstrategies dot com, and Marcus Mateus, marcus ~at~ simplitex dot com.
Membership in the Bootstrap Web Subgroup is free, and joining is easy: Yahoo Group for the Web Subgroup
Next Meeting
Tuesday, May 19, 2009, 6:30pm at Conjunctured, 1309 E. 7th Street, Austin, Texas. Andrew Donoho on "The Interactive Mobile Web." Design and other implications of web sites for small screens. The iPhone is one of the first always on, everywhere web devices. As such, it offers some unique opportunities for web developers. As a native code iPhone developer, Andrew is going to discuss both the narrow web, extensions to Safari and Webkit panels in iPhone applications. Furthermore, he's reserving time to have a discussion of the relative merits of choosing web or native development.
