James Brown is going to give us an intro to backbone.js, what it is, how to use it and the benefits it brings to mobile. As a disclaimer, this will be tech-oriented. This is more of in implementation presentation than our usual talks but Backbone looks really interesting.
If you haven't met James yet or seen one of his talks:
James Brown brings 10+ years of experience to his roles as Founder of Gulf to Bay Technology and Development Director for WRECKINGBALL Media Group. He has built multiple internal and external projects for Adobe, including the international CS5 product launch websites, the development of Tour de ColdFusion, and was primarily responsible for leading his programming team to code and rebuild the Adobe’s popular site, Adobe TV.

James and I are really excited that this event has gotten such a great response. I originally thought it might be a smaller group of of us in a Panera meeting room. We're still working on landing a good spot and we'll share as soon as we have one.
