Tech

We’ve searched Facebook, LinkedIn, and odd corners of the internet looking for the tech jobs you won’t find on Craigslist. Most of these come from people at the company in question hoping a friend of a friend can help them find a good person to hire. Luckily for you, The Austin Post is your friend.

In a nondescript office park in North Austin, a garage door stands part-way open. Inside, evil is afoot.

App developers, whether you work with iOS, Android, or Windows Mobile, this week Austin has a meetup for you. Though the week starts out full of informative sessions, it ends with plenty of great networking. The always awesome BASHH and it’s little sister BizBASHH are back at The Brew Exchange on Thursday, plus this week also includes Door64’s Happy Hour and TechRanch Campfire. Get ready to share some beers with your fellow digital workers.

Gigabot’s slogan is, “This is huge!” If you’ve ever had a chance to see (or, in my case, fondle) a MakerBot or Cube, you know most 3D printers can only make objects that will fit into the palm of your hand. Gigabot can print up to an incredible two feet by two feet. In the 3D printing world, that’s not just huge, it’s incredible. To put it in perspective, the Cube can print objects about the size of an apple. Gigabot can print objects bigger than the entire Cube.

There are a lot of firsts this week. Check out Austin’s brand new communications apps group, new web game developers group, and new API developers group. If that’s not enough newness for you, check out UT’s Journalism Apps Demo Day.
