Refresh Boston

another refreshing city

What is Refresh?

Refresh is a community of designers and developers working to refresh the creative, technical, & professional culture of New Media endeavors in the Boston area while promoting design, technology, usability, and standards.

Our Next Meeting

At our last meeting, Joshua Porter showed us how to design in a recession. Alla Zollers posted a great recap of Josh's presentation on her blog if you missed it or didn't take notes. For July, we've lined up Marc Amos to talk to us about CSS, and what we can do with it now and in the future.

An Introduction to CSS 2.1 & CSS 3

In this talk Marc will go over what's available to designers currently with CSS 2.1 and what's coming down the road in CSS 3. He'll show solid examples with code and styles, and discuss browser support as well.

About Marc

Marc Amos lives in Beverly, where he runs his own web business. He's also a co-creator of the popular Build Guild meetups in Salem, where web folk come to talk shop and, more importantly, drink beer.

The event is free as always, and we'll have food once again thanks to Slim Kiwi, ::play:: & Boston Web Studio, as well as refreshments provided by Microsoft. For those of you who can't make it, we'll try and broadcast the event live again on Ustream.
