JavaScript Framework Potpourri

This month we're going to look at the big four JavaScript Frameworks (Backbone, Ember, Angular and React) in four 20-minute, hyper-focused presentations.

Each presenter, speaking from significant personal experience in their framework of choice, will go over the pros and cons of one of the four frameworks with the goal of helping you get a sense of which framework might be right for you or you project.
