Broccoli is a very fast asset pipeline and build tool. It's core architecture is lightweight and built around the philosophy of processing trees and not individual files. Broccoli was designed for maximum flexibility by providing chainable plugins for hundreds of build tasks such SASS compilation, ES 6 transpiling, asset finger printing and much much more. Broccoli is written in node w/ express and packaged with many utilities for being backend agnostic (such as a proxy and live reloadable server).

In this talk Wesley be giving a full overview of constructing an end to end project using broccoli.

Responsive web design has changed not only the way be build the web but the way we think about the web. One of the prevailing criticisms of responsive design has been degraded performance. Understandably so.

Put down that server and slowly back away. More and more, useful applications can be built that consist mainly of bringing together data from multiple SAAS apis. With the magic of technologies like CORS and OAuth, it's now possible to build apps like this with no app specific back end code. I'll prove how this can work by going over an app I built to prove these ideas out. LetsGitLunch is a simple serverless app that mashes the google calendar API and Github API to randomly pick someone in your org and invite them to lunch.

If you have ever received a UI design and cringed at the thought of turning it into code or caught yourself nodding a little too much when watching the Wat? presentation on JavaScript, this presentation is for you. We will be taking a hard look at the challenges facing your average web development team. How do I integrate the designer into the team? How do we find developers with the skill sets needed to build rich web applications? How do we make sure we are getting the most out of the developers on our team? The Combination of Enfocus and ClojureScript provide us with some answers to these questions and more.

Bio:

Creighton Kirkendall has been building web application and leading development teams for over 17 years. Several years ago, Creighton fell in love with Clojure and has since teamed up with Carin Meier and few others to start the Cincinnati Functional Programmers Group (CinyFP). These days his free time is spent, coaching soccer, developing in ClojureScript and chatting about the future of functional languages with anyone who will listen. Creighton works as an Architect/Developer at the awesome consulting company System Evolution Inc.

Recently, we built a touch screen interface for our building's lobby. After reviewing several JavaScript frameworks, I settled on AngularJS. We'll talk about moving the application from the server to the client, lessons learned and things to avoid.

So, you've heard mentions of this thing called Meteor and you want to know what it is? Come listen to Josh Owens share some knowledge on the core pieces of Meteor, how it all works, and why you should use it! He will dive into the core tenants of the framework, talk a bit about NPM packages, and even show a quick example of Futures. Prepare to be amazed like you were with the 15 minute blog video for rails...

Talk Title: Demystifying d3

Overview: d3 leverages SVG and makes data visualizations possible that are simply amazing. Visit their examples page and you'll find yourself saying holy crap they did that with Javascript??? And with so little code? The purpose of this talk is to introduce you to the core concepts of d3 and make those really cool examples approachable.

About Bruce Hubbard: Bruce is a Dr Pepper fueled independent developer specializing in all things web. When he's not investigating new Javascript libraries or building apps he's either listening to a Reds game or playing with his kids. Probably with a Dr Pepper in hand.

Beautiful code needs a beautiful interface. Ok not necessarily beautiful, but at least usable. I'll offer some quick tips on type, color, grid, hierarchy, and other elements to help your project be successful.

Video from April: How I Learned Ember

Meetup Link

By Jeremy Mack

A look at how I learned Ember over the last nine months. I've helped launch a west coast startup and created a data-driven internal application for a large company. I'll cover reference materials I've used. Documentation lookup techniques that have served me well. Code snippets that Ember made it really easy to write. I will be answering questions afterward that match this regex /is ember (good|ready|hard|faster|stronger)/ with the response "Yes, shut up".

Ease your mobile app development to the cloud powered by Javascript with Azure Mobile Services

Javascript, it's not just for browsers anymore. If you are a Javascript developer today you are no longer confined to the browser frame, you can take those skills to mobile devices, servers and the cloud. The technology makes it possible, but it's not easy. You've got a lot of learning to do and a lot of things to worry about like data, identity, validation, push, scale and diagnostics to name a few. Azure Mobile Services is there to make it easy. It provides you a ton of backend services out of the box to help you cloud enable those client apps utilizing the client side Javascript skills you already have. If you are a node developer you can go even further. It doesn't stop there though, it includes client SDKs for IOS, Android, WIndows 8 and a newly announced library for Phonegap/HTML5 which you can use to reach any device anywhere. You have to just see it to believe it, and if you come to this talk you will!

Who should attend?

IOS/Android/Phonegap/HTML5/Node developers

Why you should attend?

If you want to build cloud scale mobile backends without all the pain, come to this talk!
