About Portland Web Innovators

Portland Web Innovators is a technology-agnostic group where you can meet like-minded web people without the excuse of a networking-only event.

Join us the first Wednesday of every month. Topics are a mixture of tech, design, and business.

We believe the Web is less about technology and more about what can be done with the technology.

Marshall Kirkpatrick on APIs

Submitted by adamd on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 22:29.

Marshall always leads great discussions and the June Web Innovators meeting was as expected: great! For me, it was a trip back to 2006 when I first met Marshall at a PDXWI meeting discussing... you guessed it, APIs.

One Way to Start a Web Company

Submitted by adamd on Tue, 04/28/2009 - 14:13.

Portland Web Innovators was founded because we don't just like the technology or the design. Yes, those are a big part of our craft. We also want to work on fulfilling projects, for companies that do good stuff. For many of us, we want to start our own companies. In fact, many Web Innovators already have.

At the May meeting, you'll hear a story of how one guy did it. Paul Anthony started in his dorm room in 1996. That's a pretty humble beginning and I hope his story will inspire you. Join me to hear about the success he's made over more than a decade.

Other Cool Upcoming Events

Submitted by adamd on Tue, 04/07/2009 - 14:57.

At the most recent meeting, I invited people in the audience to mention upcoming events of interest to fellow designers, programmers and web businesspeople. I'd like to do the same thing on the Web Innovators site. Let's continue to get Portlanders out from behind their screens and talking to each other.

No foolin', April's meeting was Demolicious!

Submitted by adamd on Fri, 04/03/2009 - 15:54.

Despite the meeting being scheduled on April Fools Day, there was another great round of demos this quarter, without a joke in the bunch. If you're interested in taking the stage in July, let me know.

Firefox 3.1 is so yesterday

Submitted by adamd on Thu, 03/05/2009 - 13:24.

Dietrich Ayala from Mozilla led an excellent discussion about the future of web browsing at the March meeting. He started by telling us that Firefox 3.1 is yesterday... literally. As in, the next major release of Firefox will now be called Firefox 3.5.

Help needed for new dot com venture

Submitted by dspandit on Mon, 02/09/2009 - 23:15.

Hello,

I am in the process of starting a new dot com venture.  Without signing an NDA, I can't reveal too much about it.  But I can say the venture is analogous to EBay.  However, it is not similar or a competitor to EBay.
