apps.berlin.js - 1st meeting

We love Berlin.JS. The variety of the talks reflects the flexibility of language. JavaScript is a broad subject, so we would like to dig deeper into a specific topic: client-side JavaScript applications.

There are plenty of frameworks which assist in building client-side JavaScript applications (“HTML5 apps”). But most of them lack best practices and case studies regarding large-scale applications. Especially, smaller libraries like Backbone.js are used for this purpose without providing a scalable structure on their own.

To discuss these problems, we’re announcing apps.berlin.js, the first meet-up on JavaScript Web apps in Berlin. It’s an official Berlin.JS spin-off. We kindly invite you to join us on Thursday, May 10th 2012.

There will be a focus on Backbone.js and its ecosystem, but we’re open to discuss other libraries and topics as well. The first talk will be ashort introduction to Chaplin and its ongoing development. Chaplin is a sample architecture for JS applications based on Backbone.

Further talks will be announced shortly on this mailing list and on @berlinjs, so please stay tuned. Until then we’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions. If you would like to give a talk or start a discussion, please let us know!
