Brighton Girl Geeks
The Brighton Girl Geeks are a community focused on women with an interest in technology.
We usually have informal gatherings over dinner and a presentation. Though sometimes also meet up for lunches, coffees and just plain socials.
The main rule is that guys are welcome as long as they are invited by a girl :)

WHERE: The Eagle Pub (125 Gloucester Road) in the North Laine area of Brighton.
HOW MUCH: Free
Talk details

Abstract: Designing a web application with character
In their most basic form, web applications are little more than
process. A step by step list of tasks, leading you on to a hopefully
successful goal. While geeks and engineers get excited about process,
this simple joy is often lost on consumers. There’s nothing to
connect with, to feel passionate about. Nothing to make people feel
special, guide them when they get stuck or reassure them when
something goes wrong. In short, there’s nothing compelling to make a
consumer come back and use your site again.
This talk is about designing a consumer web application with
character. Looking at simple techniques to give your app a little
something extra to spark passion in your users, and create a place to
which they feel loyal, and will return.
