The Future of JS App Architecture

The cutting edge in JavaScript application stack technology has been moving at quite a clip in the past year or two. You've probably heard a lot of buzzwords lately like Node, NoSQL, Server-side JavaScript, etc., but chances are that you haven't yet had time to play with them, much less figure out how they might fit into a Sencha-based app development workflow.

Corey Butler is here to shed some light on what these technologies are, how they fit together, and how you can use them today in your Ext and Sencha Touch applications.
