I bought the book already for Effective Javascript. Cannot wait to join the bookclub for it.

  I have also started making my own summary/notes at http://bit.ly/kimsia-...
  
  as part of preparing for the bookclub.
  
  Please feel free to add comments to gDocs or copy for your own notes especially for those who are not willing to buy the book itself.
  
  My aim is to cover 1 item every day. Hopefully will finish the whole book in another 67 days.

After the last meetup, I have bought 2 books - one on Developing Backbone.js Applications and one on Design Patterns in Javascript. I have been in contact with Addy Osmani, a Googler and an active contributor to the AuraJS project.

The AuraJS only has a Developer Preview at the moment. But I was wondering if there is anybody here in this awesome community who has dabbled with AuraJS. https://github.com/aurajs/aura/tree/pre-express-lib-updates

I have a few questions regarding its usage in a large scale JS application.

Thank you!

Going to try encourage everyone to keep their talks nice and short, entertaining and to straight the point.

To keep talks short, and encourage planning, please pick a length (in minutes) for your talk prior to the meetup date. We'll run a timer. And um, length must also be a Fibonacci number.

  Max allowed speaking time should be a function of how many attendances the speaker has made to SingaporeJS?

  Ttalk = fib(n)
  Where n is attendance in the trailing 6 months?
