Welcome the New World: It's flatter than it used to be.
Chia Hwu and Evan Kirchhoff will take us on a tour of iOS 7's new design theory and practice. Down with skeuomorphism and gradients, up with animations, transparency, and parallax. From 7 to 8pm, Chia and Evan will share tips for designing apps that feel at home in iOS 7. We'll also be looking for ways to smooth the transition forward without breaking our iOS 6 apps.
We'll follow this with an extended show-and-tell where we invite participants to share their own app designs and how they are updating them for iOS 7.
Participation is free for Renaissance IO (http://renaissance.io) members, who also receive access to videos from the 2013 Renaissance Conference. For more information about Renaissance IO membership, visit http://renaissance.io/membership.
Participation is also free for early ticket buyers for Renaissance 2014 (http://renaissance2014.eventbrite.com), coming January 29-31, 2014 at UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center. Early registrations for Renaissance 2014 are on sale now at http://renaissance2014.eventbrite.com.

Good Meetup and useful info presented with interesting perspectives on UI design. A little disappointed that there weren't as much coding tips and tricks or lessons learned.

Great topic. As a developer I really love the focus on design. We just don't get enough of that in our day to day. We are all really interested in the new iOS 7 but we dont all have the resources to play with it. Thanks to qubop for sharing. Great presentation!

Excellent talk by both Evan and Chia! Also the demos afterwards were really interesting and if we can do more design critiques like that in the future that would be wonderful. Btw, I couldn't access this link that was shown in the slide deck..anyone else having trouble with it? http://www.qudop.com/ios7.pdf

Am a Renaissance.io member and an Instagator ticket holder to Renaissance.io 2014, but have no problem paying the fee - which I have already done. Should be an interesting gathering!
