Webscope plays host to next Drupal Meetup 5th September 2012

After the success of the previous Drupal meetup and the overwhelming attendance of 20+ members packing out the boardroom, Webscope again plays host to the next session on September 5th 2012.

 To accommodate we have moved the session to a larger venue on the bottom floor of the building. (So no more waiting for the lifts)

In the mix will be two case study presentations. The first from Tim Gummer at Tim Gummer Design and the section from the dynamic duo, Bruce Hudson & Michael Kudenko from Gannt NZ.

Case studies are a great way to discover alternative technologies and techniques of solving the same or similar problems; Come and find out how others do it!

We'll be getting things under way pretty smartish at 7pm so if you want to hear it all, don't be late.

Beven from Previous Next will probably do Sal's pizza again and then it'll be down to the pub after.

There’s a particular scene in the great Monty Python film ‘The Life of Brian’ where the PFJ (Peoples Front of Judea) get told of Brian’s imminent crucifixion and spend the next hour deliberating on what to do without ever actually getting much done. In the end the best Brian is offered is a barbershop rendition of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” and a small round of applause for his service to the PFJ as he faces his demise in the middle of desert.So how do we get from here to outsourcing digital projects?
Developing Apps for smartphones and tablets can be an incredibly confusing process and a huge resource sink of both time and money. Some drawbacks include needing to;develop completely different sets of code for Android, iOs, and Windows, design different interfaces and user experiences for each maintain those separate apps re-submit them to their respective app stores every time you need to change a line of code.In other words, it can range from being a real headache, to a complete nightmare.
