Jittergram and Wikiweb w/ Friends of the Web

Ever wondered how an app without unique functionality, built in a single weekend, garnered a quarter of a million downloads in the App Store? That's what Jittergram did. Wikiweb, another app built by Friends of the Web (http://www.friendsoftheweb.com), was also an Apple featured app. Come hear first hand details, technical information, design/UX, and the overall experiences about building multiple successful apps by the team at Friends of the Web (http://www.friendsoftheweb.com).

Friends of The Web (http://www.friendsoftheweb.com) is a four-man, one-desk team building websites and mobile applications for ourselves and others in Baltimore, Maryland. They are passionate about making practical products that are delightful to use.

VENUE AND PARKING DETAILS:

Advertising.com has offered their space to us for this meetup (huge thanks to Paris Pittman). It's located in Tide Point in the Ivory Building. Enter the building under the large sign that says "Ivory" and walk by the big blue crab then take an immediate left. You can take the water taxi over from Fells Point (landing #8) to landing #10 or you can drive over and park in any spot marked "Visitor" or in the "F" lot.

See below map for detail. The green is where the designated visitor spaces are. Those are marked "visitor" on the pavement. Watch out for 'reserved' or handicap. The purple shaded in area is one of the employee lots which is available for us to park in (I think, since it's after hours). The Blue marker next to the building is the entrance to the Advertising.com meetup space.
