It was fun and interesting to learn about new applications and tools being developed in my local community.  Some were more useful for me than others, but overall, it was a very well done event.  I’m very excited to try out snagit for my next presentation.

I have taken web design classes using HTML, CSS and Javascript, and so I was a little worried that the presentations would be too complicated for me to follow; I was glad to find that they were not.  I learned new CSS tricks to create custom fonts that I’m looking forward to playing around with.

There was also a demo of Seeking Michigan.  It was great to see “techies” excited about our website and what we have done.  One of the goals of the site was to make it sleek and integrate Web 2.0 technologies, and it was rewarding to get such great feedback.

The cutest part of DemoCamp?  The cupcakes! How can you beat eatable iPods?

Now that this collection is finished, I’m able to move on to our other Civil War collections.  I’m excited to expand the Civil War Manuscripts available on Seeking Michigan!
