betherenyc (be there nyc) is a project I’ve been working on (on and off) for a few years. Read its history here. My plan for the semester is to revive it and launch by end of May. Taking the skills, knowledge, and time afforded by my classes this semester, I think it’s going to be a kick-ass project.

betherenyc is a location-based mobile website that shows free and cheap events happening around you now. I will be using my HTML5, Dynamic Web Development, and User Experience Design classes to finally complete this project.

I will be using various data sources for pulling the events information as well as using user-submitted data. For example, one set of data will be from NYC’s Open Data, the Calendar of Special Events.
