Welcome to MNUG.net

The mission of the Memphis .Net User Group is to educate, evangelize and inform the community about the direction in which Microsoft .NET, Microsoft SQL Server, and related technologies and how developers and architects of various, yet intersecting disciplines can start to prepare for what is ahead while serving the community through knowledge sharing and evangelism of current technologies.

Monthly meetings are usually held on the fourth Thursday of the month and attendance is free.  Our meeting location is Southwest Tennessee Community College at 5983 Macon Cove Rd, Memphis, TN 38134.  There are three new academic buildings (but look like one long building) that have been built and are visible from I-40. We meet in Building C room 179 (labeled MAC on this downloadable map).  Meetings start at 6:00 p.m. with pizza and drinks provided by Robert Half Technology, followed by the presentation starting around 6:30 p.m.

Presentation - Smart / Responsive Mobile Design
Designing for touch interactions on an ever-growing array of devices and screen sizes can be daunting. We will discuss efficient ways to focus mobile features, tips for designing for touch and approaches to implement a “responsive” design that adapts to any screen size.
