CalgaryUX is joining up with Pixels and Pints for their next get-together on Tuesday, April 9.
Some CalgaryUX folks are already regulars at Pixel and Pints but if you haven’t been to one before, Pixels is a monthly intermingling of Calgary’s designers, writers, analysts, and developers… and everything in-between.
It’s a pretty casual group: just grab a drink, have a chat, listen to some announcements, and make some new connections!
You can arrive any time during the evening, but things get started at 5:30pm at the Rose and Crown Pub in Beltline (1503 4 St. SW). We’ll have a reserved section at the back.
RSVP for the “UX + Pixels + Pints = Awesome” event through Meetup
Content Strategy For Mobile
By Karen McGrane
Date: TUESDAY, March 26, 2013
Time: 6:30
Location: To Be Determined (MAKE A SUGGESTION IN COMMENTS!)
RSVP: Via Meet Up
About The Book: You don’t get to decide which platform or device your customers use to access your content: they do.
Mobile isn’t just smartphones, and it doesn’t necessarily mean you are on the move. It’s a proliferation of devices, platforms, and screensizes — from the tiniest “dumb” phones to the desktop web. How can you be sure that your content will work everywhere, all the time?
Karen McGrane will teach you everything you need to get your content onto mobile devices (and more). You’ll first gather data to help you make the case for a mobile strategy, then learn how to publish flexibly to multiple channels. Along the way, you’ll get valuable advice on adapting your workflow to a world of emerging devices, platforms, screen sizes, and resolutions. And all in the less time than it takes you to fly from New York to Chicago.
