What exactly: PouchDB is a database written in Javascript that is largely based on CouchDB. It runs in the browser and in node. Backbone.js is a light framework for making Javascript applications. It is as the name suggests, a backbone, you supply the meat and indeed even the ribs.
When: 7pm, the room is booked so we should try to start on time so we can leave room for questions and discussion.
Style: We love questions and discussion. We'll do some quick walkthrough and demo, contextualize the problems and solutions and jump start the real fun, talking to each other.
