PSIG 125: Thu Jul 2 2009

When:

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 @ 7pm

Where:

Hotel Indigo. Use this link to get driving directions to the hotel to avoid a Google Maps bug or use these directions from the Arlington Park Metra station.

Schedule:

Show & Tell
We'll start out the meeting by going around the table and talking about what we're currently working on or learning about. Handouts are welcome, or bring along your Mac and we'll hook it up to the projector.

Book Reports
Bring along the book you're currently reading, or one of your old favorites. Hopefully the book would have some relevance to programming, but we're fairly open-minded. Just give us an overview the book's topic, and what you liked (or disliked) about it.

Topics
Victoria Wang will give an introduction to programming 2D animations and web-based games. She will focus on both the industry standard, ActionScript for Adobe Flash, as well as the hot open source alternative, Processing and its counterpart, Processing.js. Join us for some fun code and shiny demos!

Dinner
Please Bring Your Own Beverage. And food.

Looking for Presenters:

I'm always on the look-out for folks to want to give a talk for a meeting. The talk doesn't need to be long (10 minutes is fine if your topic is small or you just want to tease the group) and you don't need to be an expert (just tell us why you think your topic is cool or your experiences). Toss me an email and I'll assign you a chunk of time.
