Fwd: AWC April 17th Meeting: Build An App Using Public Data: Socrata for Developers, Entrepreneurs, and Lean Startups

Hi again,

I don't know if but thought you might want to post this on the site.
It's that other organ that I so often had conflicting meeting dates with.

I found them because of their often interesting and valuable sources of info.
This is a post about their meeting this Wednesday.

Men are welcome, but I guess you figured that out.

Thanks Lloyd (or whoever!),

Ralph

Learn how to access public data using the world's #1 open data solution, Socrata Open Data. Socrata provides tools to routinely extract and transform data from source systems, generating code that you can use to make data show up in your website or application.

Everything derived from a Socrata dataset will update automatically whenever the source data changes. This technology allows researchers, bloggers, news media, etc., to display city, county, and federal government data, real-time. Socrata is used by King County to communicate real time information about everything ranging from snow closures to election results. The local and federal government collect vast amounts of data that is available for reuse.

Join King County web developer Al Boss in a lively conversation about how developers can create lean applications using government data resources.
