Ballard Library

Almost everyone in IT has stories of costly and complex system migrations. This Wednesday, Walker Hamilton will be talking to the folks at Refresh Seattle about migrating the vast Content Management System at Digial Web Magazine. He’ll be covering a lot of the technical issues like databases, php, and Cake as well as the general issues and gotchas that cropped up in the process.

The following Tuesday (October 30th), Jeff Croft will be talking about the different “layers” of web development: structure (html), presentation (css), and behavior (javascript). Both events will be followed by drinks and merriment at The Bal Mar, across the street from the library.

Refresh Seattle has been putting together some great events this summer for web developers and designers, and that trend continues for August. On Monday, Matt May (developer and technologist for Adobe) will be presenting on Web Accessibilty. He’s actually breaking the hour down into three separate “mini talks”: 1) a brief overview of the subject, 2) the future of web accessiblity, and 3) accessibility hacks. After the event at the Ballard Library, everyone is heading over to The BalMar for drinks. Space is limited, so put your name on the list at Upcoming.org.
