Event Details

Buffalo Billiards, 6th and Brazos

RSVP on Facebook (it’s not required, you’re always welcome)

We have two great rubber-meets-the-road presentations. One focuses on Textmate, one of the most popular editors on the Mac with a big reputation for powerful customization; the other focuses on the user experience of effective e/commerce.

TextMate-fu

Presented by Steve Stedman

TextMate is the quintessential Mac app–simple, capable, magical. Beneath its deceptively quiet interface lies one insanely potent text editor. In this hour,… we’ll take a closer look at TextMate, its environment, and its bundled productivity-enhancers. Beyond that we’ll create our own magical incantations via snippets, macros, and commands. At talk’s-end, we’ll have some new fu and a deeper appreciation for this elegantly powerful IDE.

Breaking eCommerce Sterotypes

Presented by Adam McCombs and Robert Banh of McCombs Creative

eCommerce has gotten a bad reputation. From the cheesy, unusable and sometimes un-trustworthy, designers and developers need to put a stop to terrible eCommerce websites. Just because you are selling product doesn’t mean the website can’t be full of personality. Join us for a look at a few case studies of effective eCommcerce websites that keep the fun in eCommerce. We’ll take a look at best practices as well as some do’s and dont’s for your next eCommerce website.
