JavaScript Frameworks, A 2 Part Series

Part II: Server-side JavaScript / All-in-one solutions, January 11 @ 7:00pm

There is a lot of innovation occurring today surrounding JavaScript and this 2 part series will be a great starting point! Beginners and advanced developers will benefit from these next two talks as they will be covering more high level ideas, momentums within the space, and will focus less on actual implementation. The idea here is to expose you to some cool new JavaScript frameworks and ideas you may not know exist to get you thinking about JavaScript's potential.

More than likely we will be covering a framework or concept within JavaScript that you are unfamiliar with, and as always we hope to learn from each other, so bring your own ideas!

Discussions will cover the basic libraries and frameworks: jQuery, dojo, prototype, MooTools, YUI, Ext.js, in addition to their overall structures, philosophies, and more advanced JavaScript frameworks you may not be familiar with such as Persevere, Spry, NodeJS, Jaxer in addition to other server-side JavaScript frameworks, and even topics like dojo's data model which hides the difference between local storage, Ajax, and Comet from the implementor.

This will be a high (not high-skill, but more philosophical differences / approaches of different frameworks) level discussion of JavaScript frameworks and members are encouraged to bring their own ideas, questions and any cool new frameworks not mentioned here they'd wish to discuss!

NO JAVASCRIPT CODE GENERATORS (GWT) WILL BE DISCUSSED, AND AS ALWAYS WE ENCOURAGE MEMBERS TO AVOID TOPICS UNRELATED TO JAVASCRIPT AS THIS IS A JAVASCRIPT GROUP.
