WIMP Meetup & Potluck:
Node.js: Why JavaScript sucks and you should use it everywhere
Meetup is FREE with a $5 suggested donation at the door. Help keep WIMP awesome.
Professional computer geek Dan Lyke will be presenting this month.
ABSTRACT
JavaScript is a necessary evil for web apps. Given that, how can NodeJS help us use JavaScript everywhere, on both clients and servers, to deploy higher quality software through code sharing, test driven development, and other best practices. No programming experience necessary.
OUTLINE:
1. Your project includes JavaScript because JavaScript is everywhere.
2. MVC - here's how applications are "supposed" to be structured.
3. A tangled mess - here's how web apps are actually structured.
4. Here's how JavaScript at all layers can help make that tangled mess more maintainable.
5. NodeJS can help you do that through:
- Test Driven Development (+mocha) (demo)
- Sharing code between Model and Controller (demo)
- Amazing frameworks (+meteor) (demo)
- Integrating NodeJS for other server apps (maybe demo)
- A few related technologies, or how Node.js can help you not write in JavaScript: CoffeeScript, C++/emscripten, TypeScript

11th APRIL, LONDON - Damjan Vujnovic shares when he decided to build mindmup.com. The two main goals, to learn cool stuff and have fun. What went right? What went wrong? What was most surprising? How did they test, monitor & troubleshoot? See the SkillsCast recording (film, code, slides) at bit.ly/16V3t3p

-webkit-transform and -moz-transform in Firefox 4 (beta 4), combined with JS whileplaying() setting angle based on play progress. (SoundManager 2 prototype stuff.)
A bit excessive, but it was fun to see that it worked in Safari and Firefox 4 - and in theory, it should work in Opera 10.5+, too.
