The Web Developer Users’ Group (WDUG) is an organization designed to increase the flow of information between the Web Advisory Committee and the developers of official University web pages.

Purpose

WDUG’s goals are to:

• Nurture communication of advanced web design issues, including best practices, new technologies, the University’s web style, and innovative methodologies and projects
• Increase peer review, collaboration, and group discussion among University developers

WDUG is an association for the mutual benefit of its members and for the benefit of the University in general. Rather than replacing existing courses and support avenues, this group will extend the resources for University web developers to a more advanced level.

Activities

WDUG strives to meet once a month during fall and spring semesters. Below is the current schedule:
