Our January general meeting will be in a different location this month. We are trying this location. which is where we hold our usual "After the Meeting" meeting. Orders for food/drink will be taken during the break in the middle of the presentation if you are hungry and don't want to wait until after the presentation (You will be expected to cover your own food/drink costs including tax). Be gracious and buy your own dinner and/or drinks, Cozymel's is letting us use the room for free so it's only right.
There are at least 3 major classes of smartwatches on the market, the Pebble, the Apple Watch and various Android Wear devices. They all have rather different programming environments:
We will be showing how applications are developed for the Pebble Time and the Apple Watch. This won't be a full development tutorial, more an overview to show how development is done for these i watches and what our experiences have been.
After the meeting we generally adjourn to a more informal get together and discussion. Location for such will be figured out.

The previous IIT-Rice location in Wheaton we have been enjoying over the past decade is no longer what we will be using. This location is our usual "After the Meeting" meeting where we would go after the presentation. Tonight, we are having the presentation at the same place that people can get food/drink.
