[Announce] Next Meeting – Tuesday August 14, 2012

[Michigan!/usr/group » meetings: craig]

**Impress.js**

Ryan Kather will be presenting on [Impress.js][1], a presentation framework (think Microsoft Powerpoint) but open source and based on HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It's based on ideas from Prezi.com (scaling/zooming to dramatic effect). Developers are able to code good-looking presentations quickly with Impress.js without having to deal with Powerpoint or OpenOffice Impress. Presentations are also fully portable as all that is needed is a modern browser for viewing.

**Raspberry Pi**

Remember the "good ol' days" programming on your Atari 800 or Commodore 64 micro-computer? Those simpler computers were lots of fun, but developing on today's machines requires a substantial investment. Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive computer tha hearkens back to the dawn of the micro-computer age. The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer board that plugs into a TV and a keyboard. This ARM-based PC can do many of the things that a desktop PC can do, like spreadsheets, word-processing, games, and High-Definition video. Brian Hill will discuss the Raspberry Pi platform and show us this inexpensive and interesting platform.

And we’ll also have our normal MUG meeting features: Jobs Looking For People, People Looking for Jobs, news and events, and much much more.

Hope to see you there!
