Ever wondered where all the money in web design goes? Perhaps you’d like to take a larger cut of it? Well this fantastic infographic from Webydo will help explain just where all that money gets spent, as well as where businesses are succeeding and failing.

Webydo is a fantastic website builder that enables designers to skip the development process, and design a website using an intuitive drag and drop interface instead. With Webydo taking up the strain on the development side, you’re free to task your energy, and your budget, to create a responsive website. Whether you start with a blank canvas, or pick one of Webydo’s templates, it’s the professional solution for designers who need to deliver everything from simple brochure sites to complex CMS or e-commerce solutions; but lack the budget, or inclination, to hire a developer.

The Baltimore Code Craftsmanship meetup group will hold its monthly meeting at 7:00pm on Thursday, January 16 in the ITE building on the UMBC Campus. The meetup is for the students and software developers in the Baltimore area that care about the quality of their work and want to practice and improve their programming skills, share what they know and learn new things from others.

This is a hands on coding user group with no presentations. Each meeting will be a dojo where we will go through a challenging software craftsmanship exercise that focuses on clean code, test-driven development, design patterns, and refactoring. We will pair up and practice on a kata in order to learn and apply the values, principles, and disciplines of software craftsmanship. Come with your laptop equipped with your favorite programming and automated unit testing environment. If you don’t have a laptop, come anyway, we will need only one laptop for every two people. Be prepared to pair up, learn, share and have fun!

Join the meetup and register to attend here.

Robert Deluty, associate dean of the graduate school, has published a new volume of poetry, “Opening the Doors of Perception.” In his review, Richard M. Berlin writes:

“From the drama of the opening poem, to the shock of the finale, Robert Deluty’s latest collection throws open all the doors. And the light that enters illuminates the humor at the center of our joys and heartbreak. Best of all, his poems let us see ourselves from a fresh angle, especially our shared humanity. Once again, Deluty has created a volume to treasure.”

“Opening the Doors of Perception,” as well as all of Dr. Deluty’s other books, may be purchased at the UMBC Bookstore.
