Famo.us, JS Game Development and Building Responsive sites with AngularJS


Details
Hey gang,
we have some great talks lined up for our May DublinJS meetup. The talks will be:
"Starting a Responsive Web project with AngularJS" - Sarah Doran @sarahd0ran (https://www.twitter.com/sarahd0ran)
Sarah has been in the trenches the last few months building a responsive site using AngularJS. She'll be discussing why they chose their particular technology toolchain & also describing some of the problems they've run into along the way.
Famo.us (https://famo.us/) JavaScript Framework - Levi (https://www.meetup.com/DublinJS/members/145329142/)
An introduction to the Famo.us JavaScript framework for creating UIs. Famo.us includes an open source 3D layout engine fully integrated with a 3D physics animation engine that can render to DOM, Canvas, or WebGL.
"When Two Worlds Collide" - Rob Stocker http://www.emc23.com
Rob made his first game as a kid on an Apple computer in 1982. He returned to game programming 30 years later as a coder dojo mentor using game dev to teach the kids (and himself) Javascript.
An active member of the Irish Indie Game dev scene, he acts as self appointed collector of cool javascript links & resources that he posts on the facebook group page and at http://www.emc23.com (his html5 gamedev blog and tutorial site).
"We are now entering probably one of the most exciting times in game dev because of html5 and Webgl, and this will present unique opportunities for the javascript developer interested in game dev whether as a professional or hobbyist." These opportunities and more will be discussed.
