Gadgeteer: Bringing Code to Life

Presentation:
Have you ever wished the object oriented code you write could come alive? I mean really come alive and join you in the physical world? Well, it can and I'll show you how to take what you know as a programmer and build actual physical beings using the Gadgeteer prototyping platform that interact with their environment. No soldering irons required!

Speaker Bio:(Ian Lee)http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/e/0/8/600_273963592.jpegI've been writing code long enough that simply moving pixels & bits is no longer enough. So, these days I spend my nights bringing code to life using physical devices. I'm a Maker with a passion for microcontrollers and electronics and as the founder & president of NashMicro (http://nashmicro.net), I try to bring like-minded folks together once a month. My days are spent as a software engineer at Mercury Intermedia (http://mercury.io) where I get the pleasure of helping build awesome, award winning mobile apps. I'm also a contributing blogger for MAKE (http://makezine.com) magazine and I document my personal projects on my blog (http://ianlee.info).
