Our focus is on how to make powerful and maintainable Javascript frontends.

One of the areas of interest is "Big Data" analytics and the effective visualization of large data sets.

The format will be conversational and based on a centering theme.

Technologies that will be discussed:

• Client application organization (Require.js, Aura.js)
• Client visualization and data manipulation (D3.js, Crossfilter.js)
• Analytics (Cascalog)
• Databases (Redis, ElephantDB, HBase, MongoDB)
• Operations (Chef)
• Anything interesting that comes up during discussion

Topics for discussion will be warmly welcomed.
