Lessons learned from building a high performance site in Node.js and Backbone.js

Nick Parker and Ben Lambert from The Atom Group (http://www.theatomgroup.com/) will be speaking.

Nick and Ben built a single page backbone.js voting app with a node.js backend that handled 3,000 concurrent users and 1.25 million votes in two weeks. We will cover the technologies chosen and why, as well as the lessons that we learned in the process.
