11/09/99 RMIUG Meeting
- Tips and Tools for Web Site Development
The Tuesday November 9, 1999 meeting of
the Rocky Mountain Internet Users Group
(RMIUG) will feature a panel discussion
on "Tips and Tools for Web Site Development."
Join us for our 48th RMIUG meeting, the
last one of the century! Also, see our '2000
meeting schedule below.
Our first presenter is Alex Wilsdon (awilsdon@leopard.com),
Internet Strategist at Leopard Communications.
Alex will be covering the initial strategic
planning and information architecture including:
defining the project objective, alignment
with other business initiatives, designing
an information architecture, establishing
the functional requirements and defining
the scope within the established time and
cost constraints.
Our next speaker will be Mark DeAntoni
(markd@indra.com),
Graphic Designer at Indra's Net. Mark will
be speaking on graphic considerations in
web site design and development, including
browser compatibility issues, graphics applications,
and HTML/JavaScript programming.
Our final speaker will be Bryan Buus (buus@xor.com),
Director of Internet Technology Solutions
at XOR Network Engineering. Bryan will be
speaking on Unix-based utilities that are
useful, as well as some of the things to
look out for when planning for a web site
that needs to scale over time.
As always, we will allow plenty of time
for interactive Q&A, so bring plenty of
questions.

The meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 9th from
7:00 - 9:00 pm (with optional 6:30 pm start
for refreshments and informal networking).
The meeting will be held at The National
Center for Atmospheric Research at 1850
Table Mesa Drive in Boulder, which is located
on the west end of Table Mesa Drive, up
the hill, right under the Flatirons. For
door-to-door driving direction, go to MapQuest
(http://www.mapquest.com/
), click on Driving Directions, enter your
starting address, NCAR's address, and voila!
Park in the NCAR lot, go in the main door,
and ask the guard to point you to meeting,
which is held in the main auditorium, right
off the lobby. The meeting is free and open
to the public, but we may pass the hat to
help defray expenses.
Our meeting location seats about 120 people.
That is usually enough room to accommodate
all attendees, but it's impossible for us
to predict how many people will show up
for any given meeting. Seating is always
on a first-come, first serve basis, and
in the event of more attendees than seats,
we won't be able to admit additional people
into the auditorium after all seats are
filled.
