Comments from outgoing group leader, John Vighetto:

I want to thank everyone that stopped in for the presentation. It was a great deal of interesting information about branding telephony for your clients.

Thank you as always Jennifer for continuing to host our user group meetings.

Looking forward to our new user group leader/moderator Harold, as well as the new website that he’s taken over. 2017 will be a great year for this group!

Some comments from our Group Co-Ordinator and other participants:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
(From John Vighetto)

I wanted to thank everyone who attended last night’s meeting. I think the ideas that were put on the whiteboard from your suggestions for future presentations were great ideas, and I hope to help in having to get some of these presenters.

Thank you Harold for stepping up and accepting the challenge to be the next victim (I mean user group leader!) for our group. I’m sure that you’ll do great; especially now that we have tentative committees setup to help out. I will definitely help out in whatever capacity you feel I can.

I want to sincerely thank everyone who pitched in for my thank you card from the group. I was very pleasantly surprised at the generosity and gratitude displayed. I’m truly humbled. Thank you all once again!

Special thanks to Jen for continuing to host our user group meetings. Can’t thank you enough!

Check back on the website soon. It will be changing, and we will need everyone who still wishes to be included in the Google Groups email thread to please register; otherwise you will be removed from the existing member list.

Regards,

John Vighetto

Last night i mentioned that one of the other groups i belong to will be meeting this Saturday at the Broward main library.

If you'd like to come to the meeting, here is the information for the group:  HackMiami.org   - http://hackmiami.org/2017/01/03/01-14-2017-first-meeting-of-the-year/

They also have a Meetup.com group that you can join and see all of the meeting information as well.

Even if you don't want to join the group, you should come in and check out the Creation Station at the Library.  It's like nothing you've ever seen before!  (well, some of you have seen better, i'm sure... but it's pretty darn impressive!)

should you decide to come on Saturday - park in the parking garage across the street from the library.  it is 1.50 per hour or something but it is covered and it is cheaper than the surrounding parking - unless you just want to walk from somewhere far far away that has free parking?  also, we are in the creation station on the first floor - park in the garage, pay the meter, put the ticket back in your car, take the walkway over the street on the 2nd floor, down the escalator, turn left and go to the left corner.

Adam - per our discussion, just let me know which email address you'd like to use and i can have B0tOrn0t send you and invite for the Slack group.  There are a few Pi enthusiasts there that would probably love the project you were describing... and i have to say that i'd really like to do one of those as well.  That could be the first project that we work on.  :)

Boca JavaScript User Group 3 Jan 17

Michael Vargas presents Angular 2: Everything You Want to Know In An Hour

This was the invitation:  Join me, Michael Vargas, co-organizer of BocaJS, as we cover the Angular 2 ecosystem using Angular CLI. 

In this session, we'll cover varying skillsets:
For the beginner: 
We'll begin by covering the basics of Angular 2 like:
• TypeScript
•  Modules
• Built-in Directives
• Components
• Services
• Pipes
• Bootstrap 4 Integration

For the intermediate: 
And then move onto the Angular2 CLI to generate application artifacts using convention over configuration to create an application.

For the advanced:
We'll walk through a use case of the application that was put together using Angular2/CLI and Bootstrap 4 for the upcoming UX+DEV Summit Conference. Discuss some of the best practice principles from John Papa and Dan Wahlin.

Hope to see all of you there!!

This was a very well populated event!  Check out the PHOTO'S  to see what you forgot!

Palm Beach IT Users Group, Annual Winter Holiday Party, 13 Dec 16.

Palm Beach IT Professionals Annual Christmas Party, 13 December, 2016.

Opening words from our Group Moderator, John Vighetto:

For the benefit of everyone that did not show last night, I letting you know (officially, unofficially, etc.) that I’m stepping down as the group moderator for the group. I think it’s time that someone else steps up to provide the members with fresh new ideas, presenters, etc. Therefore, I will help whomever decides to charge for the next 60 days. My last day as group moderator will be March 1, 2017.

I want to thank everyone for putting up with me and my antics all these years as well as support the group and it’s endeavors. I’m excited to see who will rise to the challenge and look forward to keeping the group growing!

And, further comments from group members:

Danielle Major :  John,

My deepest gratitude for all that you've done for us over the years.  You've been a great Forum Master and you've gone above and beyond for this group.

I understand that you've got to close this chapter and move onto another - we all do.... but the fun thing is that we get to write our own ending!!!

YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!

I look forward to working with you on other projects - so go enjoy your family and your hobbies!! 

Have a Wonderful Holiday and a Very Happy New Year!!!!
