Joshua Porter will be discussing his book Designing for the Social Web http://tinyurl.com/5hvqur followed by Q&A and discussion - send us your question in advance if you cant make it.
There will be a raffle for some books from Morgan Kaufmann. You are entered in the raffle when you signup for the bookswap, send us a question and when you RSVP. Three chances to win!
When: Thursday April 23rd at 7pm
Where: Trident bookstore on Newbury St, Boston. http://tinyurl.com/dbnab2
RSVP and/or Questions for the Author: http://tinyurl.com/cqdwgu
In addition to the book discussion we've setup a bookswap to allow the community to share used design related books. Here's how it works; First you list the books you are willing to share on http://www.librarything.com, and tag them with ixda_boston_bookclub. Give us your librarything url and we'll share it with the community. People can then parse the list of books and then contact the sharer.
There is no requirement to sign up to this but if you are interested, please follow these steps:
- (optional) Create a catalog of books on the free service http://www.librarything.com
- Become a Boston IxDA book club member by signing up http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pQG39RalBf4Mo46qeqoPoVw&hl=en
- To view a list of members and to explore the books available, check out the http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pQG39RalBf4Mo46qeqoPoVw
- Interested in borrowing a book? Contact the owner and meet them at the event or arrange a separate time.
We would like to thank Eva Kaniasty for first suggesting this and taking on the task of organizing the first event. In the future, we aim to make this a self-organizing social where members can connect, share, and propose topics for the book club.
Thank you, and we are looking forward to seeing you on the 23rd of April!
