January 2012 Meetup: HTML5 Canvas with Dave Shea

For the January 2012 meetup we are very excited to have Dave Shea (mezzoblue.com, csszengarden.com and author of The Zen of CSS Design) speaking about drawing with HTML5 Canvas.

Dave will give us an overview of the canvas element and show some demos and the code behind.

    Hi Everyone,

    I've opened up some spots as my initial estimates were a bit conservative.

    IMPORTANT: The meetup will be held on the SECOND FLOOR of the building. The stairs to the floor are on your left as you enter the front door. Someone will be there to guide you to the room.

    ** REMINDER: If you or your guests can't make the meetup, please change your RSVP so someone else can come.

    Thanks and I look forward to seeing everyone Thurs. night!

    Dave.

    Hi Henry,

    There is a parking lot under the building (Impark) and there is also metered parking on Beatty St and surrounding streets.

    Looks like I made the list in the nick of time! Due to the change of plans I am running a few minutes late, though... Here's hoping someone will be near the doors to let us tardy folk in.
