Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

This meetup offers a solid introduction and a chance to learn and try out SVG.

Ruud Steltenpool read about SVG 10 years ago and really sunk his teeth into it: Coding, writing, organizing conferences ("SVG open", now broadened scope as "the Graphical Web").

SVG offers a way to do full resolution graphical elements, no matter what size screen, what zoom level, or what resolution your user’s device has.

SVG offers great opportunities to use for graphic elements on websites. They look great on all screens including retina displays. They can easily be embedded in CSS due to their small size and good compression. They also offer interactivity which means they can do more then just be an image on a site.

This meetup is targeted at graphic and web designers, web developers but also at data analysts, game designers and interaction designers.
