The “Schema” application I’m working on for Encapsule Project will take a heavy dependence on Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to provide interactive visualization and editing of the complex dataset that encodes Soft Circuit Description Language (SCDL) system models.
So I am very excited to learn that the author of the forthcoming O’Reilly book HTML5 Graphics with SVG & CSS3, Kurt Cagle, has created a new Seattle-area Meetup group for those interested in SVG. I just happened to come across it this afternoon searching Meetup.com for local data modeling and visualization groups.
Inaugural meeting of the new SVG group is tomorrow night in Issaquah and I am definitely going!
