Modern JavaScript frameworks!
JavaScripters,
After a bit of a hiatus, we're ready to kick start the JavaScript Meetup! To get things started right, we've teamed up with a new sponsor, Winter Wyman, to present our August Meetup. The date for this Meetup will be Wednesday, August 25th @7pm and the location will be will be http://rebarnyc.com/.....
We'd love for you to join us for a fun and informative night of learning and networking. Food and drinks will be sponsored by Winter Wyman.
Our speaker, John Hann, is a Dojo contributer and a Web 2.0 expert. Here's a peek at his talk:
Modern JavaScript frameworks rock! Dojo, jQuery, MooTools, Prototype... alleviate us from browser quirks so we can concentrate on coding awesome web sites. But none of these offer any guidance whatsoever -- and hardly any tools -- for building enterprise-worthy, ultra-rich web applications. It's just too easy to create inflexible, unmaintainable spaghetti code.
A few Javascript-based, in-browser Model-View-Controller endeavors have popped up to help provide solutions. Most of these are simply rehashed server-side MVC frameworks. They just don't get it. MVC sucks for web development. The bigger the project, the worse it gets.
Cujo.js was specifically designed to eliminate these inter-dependencies. Yes, it's an MVC framework, but it's different....
We look forward to having you as our guest. Please RSVP as soon as possible as this event will be limited due to venue size.

Last night, at the Boston Bocoup Loft meetup, coders cheered and clapped when I demoed IE6 doing things that only webkit browsers are supposedly able to do.
We'll also delve into the maintainability aspects of good MVC designs, as well as the benefits for large teams.
Looking forward to meeting all of you and hearing your ideas, inventions, and feedback!

@John, I really enjoyed your talk. Much of it went a bit over my head; but, when we're all trying to get better, that's exactly what makes us push ourselves.

Chris BoscoInteresting discussion, although I didn't expect it to be about a framework I couldn't actually use yet. But very timely with the jQuery & large applications kind of discussion going around.

Matt DonofrioFantastic. Great to hear from one of the JS gurus about his solution (Cujo framework) to developing large web apps. Wasn't aware that OOCSS was as "hawt" as it is. Time to read up. Great job John and excited for the release of Cujo.
