Amorphic by Sam Elsamman (http://elsamman.com/)

Node.js creates a unique opportunity for applications to share a common structure on both the front-end and back-end. Amorphic (http://elsamman.com/?p=117) is a new isomorphic framework still under development that blurs the lines between browser and server letting the author focus on what is most important – the application itself. In this talk we will get a preview of how Amorphic works by examining a simple application that uses it.
