The label on the tin reads: Rails for Designers is one of PWDO’s newest projects, organized in partnership with DevCon (Developers Connect) & PhRUG (Philippine Ruby Users Group), and graciously sponsored by Globe Labs, Freelancer, InDinero, & SourcePad. The back story goes: Ely broached the idea only a few weeks prior, reporting that there was a growing interest for learning Ruby on Rails among designers/non-developers. We thought it was a […]
This isn’t going to be such an informative post, just mostly commentary in photo essay format. Great turnout! Venue’s at the Globe Showroom, and worked very well for a Makati meetup spot. They even served complimentary coffee alongside our food. We arrived late and came at the tail end of Ken Daganio’s Ruby on Rails teaser talk. Looks like he built a blogging app for the demo. Snack time soon […]
Quite a few things happened with this month’s MiniFFC, despite having only two general agenda initially—a classic example of being concise but meaty, perhaps? First up: Lean UX. We did Lean Startup last month, and here the focus is on user experience in a lean environment. https://www.instagram.com/p/avtPbNBDQt/ Attended #miniffc this evening with @sheiladelacruz. Learned a lot. #webdesign #ux #leanstartup #mobile #responsive — redelbautista Besides returning to our favorite venue, the […]

PWDO is extremely fortunate to have UST TomasinoWeb as the leading student organization helping out with our FFCs. We’re proud that they’re now on the second year of holding the student version, Junior Form Function & Class (JFFC), on the 16 and 17 of February. It’s also gone two days, two venues (College of St. Benilde on Saturday), and simultaneous workshops. Even this year’s branding takes off on FFC 2012, […]
I don’t have many words for Bangkok; the city streets were much like the ones we know and love, while the sights were majestic. Here’s an abridged collection of photos from that trip (the rest are on Flickr)—way back in 2011, has it been that long?
Gab Madrid did these sketches of speakers and friends at the 2012 Form Function & Class web design conference. Awesome! ♥
The third FFC will be held on November 10 & 11 at the University of Santo Tomas. We’ve tweaked our format yet again: Day One will consist solely of 3-hour, multi-track workshops while Day Two will comprise conference plenary sessions. The agenda covers responsive web design, web-based game development, HTML5, interaction design, business sense, and more. We’re also holding a pre-party / networking night at KYSS on October 26. Make […]
There’s a WordPress Obox theme I’m editing right now that returns broken images when post thumbnails don’t exist. Considering this is a premium theme it’s completely stupid that I have to fix this myself. (This is why I use Get the Image most of the time, at least it’s able to pull images already entered in the post, in case the user neglects to upload post images.) The culprit seems […]
