Our first successful recording of a meetup is now available on YouTube! Open the champagne!
This month, Ben Grace talks about designing for the modern web, including the tools and workflows we use today and where we think it’s going. This was one of our larger meetups with 44 attendees! If you didn’t make it, check out the video from the meetup and enjoy the resources and Ben’s slides.
(Thanks to Randy Hall from VOM Productions for being able to pump this out so fast 🙂 We plan on being able to record every meetup going forward. Right now we’re able to do the basics, but thanks to so many supporters on our crowd funding campaign, we’re able to afford some more bells and whistles to allow us to provide quality produced videos.)
