GeekAustin tidbits - Javascript, Agile, Nerd Nite, and too much Drupal

Last weeks Drinks and Drupal party, co-hosted by GeekAustin and Four Kitchens was a whole lot of fun. Expect more in the future. I promise I'll try to keep the Drupal posts to one a week. This post doesn't count toward that.

The Austin.Javascript LinkedIn group is continuing to grow. Kyle Simpson and Joe McCann are bringing in a range of speakers for the monthly meetings. If you want to get up to speed on the latest Javascript libraries, this is the group to meet.

The Agile Austin group is hosting Ask an Expert tomorrow at Mangia Pizza. Tomorrow's host will be Walter Bodwell, the CEO of Planigle. Planigle provides consulting, training and tools to help teams adopt and get the most out of agile development.

If your looking for something closer to the Discovery Channel with beer, check out Nerd Nite Austin. To accommodate the crowd, they've moved the event to Buffalo Billiards. Att tomorrow's event, Dr. Jonas Moses will demonstrate how bio-medical innovation happens (or doesn't) in his presentation "The Accidental Innovator", JC Dwyer will explain how arcane politics become modern social policy in "From the Black Plague to the Bread Line", and Philip Wheat will ponder what happens when everything around you gets smart in "Bits & Atoms - the rise of Smart Environments." -- with beer.
