Hey Pebblers!Is making configuration pages something you hate? Come to Kirby's workshop and learn about Slate!
Join us on Thursday, July 30that Grovo in NYC for a new Pebble workshop! Team Pebblehas been hard at work creating a CSS library for developers like you to create an app configuration page that looks just like the native UI controls in the Pebble mobile app. It includes Pebble-themed buttons, toggles, sliders, color-pickers, checkboxes, draggable lists, and more. We call it Slate, andyou can get a preview of it here!
This will be an awesomehands onworkshop where you will learn how to integrate Slate into your existing app's configuration page or how to best create configuration pages in the future if you haven't already started development for Pebble apps.No prior CSS development experience is necessarybut any experience you have with C, HTML, or other languages will help! You can find general Pebble resources to the left of this page under "about us" if you haven't developed Pebble apps before orcheck out Slate on GitHubto do some homework in advance.
We'll be bringing some fancy new Pebble Time inspired stickers, some slick sunglasses, and food/drinks as usual!
