Meeting review
Our very first WebOSBoston meeting was a great success, with 9 persons attending. It was a nice, loosely structured informal meeting that was VERY productive. Thank you ALL who attended, we had a great discussion. After this, Eric Marthinsen of Agile Commerce came and spoke about recent development findings and hurdles and general programming practices. We looked at using the emulator, Ruby, scoping of functions and 'this' within a function, playing audio sounds from within a game, custom style sheet elements, log levels and much more. We were glad to have him come!!
BE SURE to join our mailing list to be notified of upcoming meetings , and in the event of last minute room changes you'll be in the know. Thank you for MIT for donating unused meeting space, and all who helped in planning and signs, etc.
