Delaware Web Developer User Group

The IT Tech Fair 2012 is coming up on Thursday, October 18 from 10:30am-2:30pm in the Trabant University Center Multi-Purpose Room.

There will be no October DeWD meeting so that we can all allocate that time towards attending the Tech Fair.

Learn more about it and register at the IT Tech Fair site.

See you there!

We’ll be doing a combo meeting this month off-cycle (meaning not on the 3rd Wednesday of the month like we usually do).

Ben Mearns will cover the FOSSCON conference he attended in Smith Hall 015 at 10:00am. We’ll also try to set up a Google+ Hangout for those who can’t attend in person.

An email will be sent out to the group prior to the meeting with a link.

We missed the 3^rd Wednesday of the month meeting.

Tuesday was Patch Tuesday and many of us were tied up with patching systems and verifying that they’re behaving, so it wasn’t a good time for some.

The plan right now is to have a meeting next Wednesday, Aug 22^nd at 10:00am in Robinson Hall Rm 105 to discuss current topics relating to web development that are on our minds and to chart a course forward as to what we’d like to cover in this years cycle of web dev meetings.

See you there!

We will be joining ranks with the rest of UD IT on July 18 for the 2nd UnConference from 8:30-12:00.

The College of Arts and Sciences is using SharePoint as the CMS platform for its public-facing web sites. Why? Come find out at the DeWD meeting on Wednesday, April 18^th at 10:00am in Smith Hall 015.

Per Rich Duggan:

The CAS IT web development team will give a four part presentation:

1) A brief overview of the SharePoint features that make it attractive as a CMS for an academic institution (Rich Duggan).

2) Tour of SharePoint farm configuration and public-facing topology (Mihir Sheth).

3) Introduction to SharePoint custom site design using master pages, page layouts, CSS, web parts, etc. (Trevor Moore).

4) OmniPage – A CAS-designed custom page layout that gives content managers a multitude of presentation options while maintaining adherence to site style requirements (Eric Cantrell).

We will be meeting in Smith Hall 015 on Wednesday, March 21 at 10:00am.

See you then!
