Hi again! One last reminder for you all.
We are meeting tomorow at 6:30pm in 374 TNRB to get together and talk about and hack around with node. If you're at all interested, we would love to have you! I will give a short 20 minute intro presentation and then the rest of the time will be used to get in groups and work together on solving a few challenges. It's going to be nice and relaxed, so bring some snacks, maybe even a few of your hacking buddies, and come learn something. Also, remember to please try and install node.js on your computer before attending. Hope to see you there, Addison On Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 7:43 PM, Addison Higham <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey everyone, just an update. > > So we had a great meeting last night with the Web Startup group and we > got a few more people interested in getting together and talking about > node. > > We are moving ahead with a meeting and shooting for August 25th at 6:30 pm. > > For more details see the post here > http://webstartupgroup.com/2011/08/come-to-the-first-utah-node-js-meetup/ > > We have quite a few people of varying skill levels interested and in > order to make the meeting as effective as possible please try and get > node set up on your laptops before your come, which not e > > If you have any questions let me know. > If you aren't able to make it, keep in contact as we will (hopefully) > have more of these meetings in the future. > > Thanks, hope to see you there! > > > > On Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 6:32 PM, Addison Higham <[email protected]> wrote: >> Good to hear so many people have interest.
