Experienced programmers are welcome to join to work on their own projects and help others out when needed.

If you’re coming, try to install Ruby on your laptop in advance, but it’s not absolutely necessary.

Baltimore Node- Baltimore's Playground's "Art Class"

Baltimore Node- Baltimore's Playground's "Art Class"

Jason Denney  hosted the first of our “The More You Node” classes on Friday, February 10, 2012.   It was a class about using the primary and secondary colors for painting pictures called “Art Class.”  Members from the Baltimore Node and the Baltimore’s Playground meetup.com group enjoyed refreshments, learning, and meeting new people.  Thank you Jason for organizing this event!

RSVP to help us gauge supplies.  You’ll need a meetup.com account, or you can simply email me:  jasondenney “at” gmail.

Why spoil your Thanksgiving vacation on hunting for Black Friday deals, when you can make!?!

We will celebrate Baltimore Node’s first Hack Friday on November 25th.

We will start around noon, and hang out until people get tired.

Bring your projects, or start a new one.

Hope to see you there!

–Amy
