Can anyone help!? Unfortunately our usual venue for The Web Meetup will be unable to host our event next Tuesday. We're looking for another somewhere in Melbourne city to host us (short notice, I know) - any ideas?

This week we talked about 'Quality': Testing does not equate to quality; NPS is not good science (but might still be useful); and measuring Service Quality
Thanks to our speakers @TheresaNeate , @dktpm and @brown_note
Videos from the night now uploaded: youtube.com/thewebmeetup

I wrote a thing about de-risking product development by focusing on platform health. Inspired by several great presentations at last year's @yow_conf (particular thanks to @RealGeneKim and @janellekz) medium.com/everestengineerin…

"there's been an interesting shift in recent years... we can no longer assume that if someone knows JavaScript they also know HTML and CSS". This is leading to inaccessible patterns in our components @200okpublic #A11yCamp

"the poor lost platform of Android" @RavenAlly kicking off her talk and reminding us all to tweet prolifically. Somehow I don't think I'll be up to her standards of quality and volume! #A11yCamp

Accessible development is hard, says @RickGiner, but that doesn’t make it optional. You wouldn’t accept a builder not putting windows on your house because they’re hard to do. Truth. #A11yCamp

First-time presenter @BenRchai gave a very informative and entertaining presentation on bots, web forms and CAPTCHA at last week's Web Meetup. If you are a dev, designer, or fan of Pokemon it's a must-see! youtu.be/PkxcxQFgLqA
