What

BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.

Interested in Attending

 

 

Proposed Topics

 

Exploring the Personal MBA (saw request for this at barcampHouston2)

 

Discussion or presentation on Adobe apps: Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR), Flex3, ColdFusion8 download

 

And discuss from Microsoft: Silverlight download, Expression Web download, Photosynth labs.live.com

 

Can tags (user-generated taxonomies) replace a pre-defined taxonomy? (SIGCHI from CHI-WEB discussion, Hal Shubin)... (one) can use tags to do some searching, but it's a very simple search... (and) what about an advanced search with tags? Maybe multiple-term clouds.

 

Perhaps one day of the BCD4 (BarCampDallas4) could be devoted to a Design Crawl and Walking Camp like this one in SF: http://orange-sf.pbwiki.com/

 

The Creative Space Team will be launching a new product called "A blank site". Come check it out.
