The Asynchronous Module Definition [AMD] API and CommonJS are the future of Javascript modules, at least until we get official ES.next harmony modules. Even major toolkits like Dojo, jQuery, and MooTools have all announced they're moving to AMD format (or at least providing AMD compatibility).
But you don't have to wait until the future to use AMD and CommonJS right now, both in the browser and in Node!
At this meetup, we'll look at the module formats to understand how to create them, as well as the advantages they have over other, previous module patterns. Time permitting, we'll look at how to implement some common design patterns (singleton, decorator, adapter, etc) using AMD/CommonJS, and also look at the advantages of AMD loaders and build tools.

When you enter the drive to the Smith Micro building, make sure drive around to the far side and enter in through the double doors, immediately then turn left. The meeting will be at the end of that hallway. All the doors will be propped open.
