User group meeting

Since Gary had some trouble getting the last announcement up, I'll try this one.

At the Tuesday January 5th 2010 Santa Cruz Drupal User Group meeting at 7pm (Pacific Time), Avinash (Avi) Harsh will be presenting his Drupal & iPhone presentation that he gave at the Silicon Valley DUG in November. Spread the word... we are very excited to have Avi present this!! SC DUG meetings are the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm in downtown Santa Cruz at Nextspace (http://nextspace.us).

Here's the info from his last presentation:

With millions of iPhones in the hands of people, it's hard to ignore it as a channel.

Whether you run a Social Networking site, Community site, a Publishing platform, an Events heavy site or any site utilizing Drupal, Mobile friendliness has to be a part of the strategy.

While Mobile browsers are universal, the experience of the Application cannot be compared.

Join this session for an interactive discussion on

* How to make the site content ready for an iPhone App
* Optimizing DRUPAL Modules for iPhone
* Challenges involved in getting an iPhone App communicate with the DRUPAL site
* Making your site Mobile Friendly
* Tips to mock up an iPhone App

We are going to have a few technology showcases, so please feel free to contact me if you would like to present your DRUPAL site that is mobile friendly.

I am so bummed I could not make it tonight.

Sound like I wont be missing the next meet up. I have been thinking more and more about the mobile world lately. This should be good.

Isn't the 5th the first Tuesday of January? Started to mark this one down in my calendar and got confused.

Really excited to hear what Avi has to say since I've been working in the Drupal meets iPhone space a lot myself lately, and couldn't make it up to San Jose for his last presentation.

If anyone is interested in learning more about iPhone development there's a meetup at Nextspace, and right now the group is going through the basics of iPhone development by working through chapters from the 'Beginning iPhone Development' book. I think the next meeting is December 10.

I'll update the other folks I emailed.

Thanks again. Hope to see you there!
