The SF JavaScript Meetup

SFJS #33: Open Source JS, Windows 8 Apps and Titanium Alloy

January 7 · 6:30 PM
Climate.com

Nick Sullivan presents Best Practices for Open-Sourcing your JavaScript Project

Covering grunt, docco, travis, and other goodies.

Ricardo Alcocer will give a lightning talk on Alloy, an MVC framework for Titanium.

Doris Chen presents Developing Windows 8 apps with HTML5 and JavaScript

You already have a Web app on the Internet and want to reach customers with a new, targeted experience on Windows 8. Learn how to leverage your existing HTML and JavaScript skills, and how to integrate your website with your Windows apps.

You’ll discover how this mirrors or differs from traditional Web programming and how to harness the rich capabilities of Windows 8 through JavaScript and the Windows Runtime.

You'll learn techniques for turning your HTML5, CSS and JavaScript into a great Windows app including touch-enablement, adopting the Windows look and feel, and system integration.

This meetup is hosted and sponsored by the Climate Corporation

Sorry for the audio quality - we had no direct mic / camera connection this time. If anyone has a quality wireless mike I could use for these things I'd love to have one...

Doris Chen is always good. Sometimes speakers really need to be directed as to how to use the mic. IMHO.
