This Monday was our final HTML5 Game Development study group session at Google’s San Francisco office. These eight weeks have taken our experience of the course to a whole new level. We laughed, we cried, we had dinner, we talked about HTML5. We’ll definitely have to do this again.
Thank you to all of the amazing students who came out each week, both in person and through the livestream, to make this experience unforgettable! We were particularly touched when some surprise international visitors came to San Francisco to experience the study group in person. Our international guest list roster includes rock star students from Guatemala, South Korea, Vietnam and Finland!
Jouni, from Finland, with Sean at Udacity!
Friends from Korea at the study group!
Dennis and Edwin, from Guatemala, at Udacity!
For those of you who took this class with us during this first release period, make sure to stay in touch with your new study pals! Now that the San Francisco study group has come to a close, we encourage you to use Meetup.com/Udacity and the forums to organize new study groups and to continue collaborating!
For those of you who are interested in HTML5 and havent enrolled, sign up to start taking the course today! You can always attend our inaugural San Francisco study group by tuning in to the recorded livestreams here, and you can take advantage of Meetup.com/Udacity and the forums to organize your own in-person study groups. Hint: You can even have the best of both worlds by organizing an in-person viewing party of the recorded livestreams.
Also stay tuned for our Game Development contest winners! We’ve heard from a lot of you with amazing games in the works and have decided to extend the contest deadline by a week, to April 15th, midnight PST. For a preview of what Udacians are doing with their new HTML5 experience, check out what your classmates have posted to the forums so far!
