Ember.js

From Wesley:

I’d like to give a general overview of Ember.js at May’s meeting. For those of you who don’t know, Ember is a lightweight MVC framework and a fork of SproutCore. More info at: http://emberjs.com

I plan to touch on all of the core concepts of the framework (MVC, StateCharts, DataStore), as well as provide basic code examples for getting started with Ember. I’m pretty flexible on the presentation, if there are any specific elements of Ember that you’d like me to touch on please let me know and I’ll try to work it in.

March – Three.js

I did a really bad job announcing this month’s meeting, but Mike showed off some awesome stuff. Here are his links from the Mailing List.

Here’s the code I presented last Wednesday on Three.js

https://github.com/ballmw/ThreeJS-examples

Also, I’ve found another library that looks promising called Scene.js It includes one of the features I really wanted in Three called “Basic Picking”. The ability to identify what object a user clicked on without using a ray…

It also has a bad-ass Tron Tank:

I did find some decent resources, but still no significant docs:

Thanks! - Mike

February – Clojurescript

If you’ve talked with Carin Meier at all, you’ve heard about Clojure. Well, it’s making it’s way in to the world of the web.

WARNING: I could be making all this up, but I think it’s pretty close to the truth.

Clojurescript is Clojure that generates JavaScript (a la Coffeescript). Creighton Kirkendall (http://twitter.com/crkirkendall) is a local enthusiast and he’s offered to do a little ditty next month.

We’ll try to round up some more lunch and send more info as it becomes available. If you or your company is interested in buying lunch, please get in touch with me!

January - Sproutcore with @workmanw

Thanks again to Wesley for the great Sproutcore intro. Here’s a link to the sample app he showed us and his update after the meeting.

Hey guys,

Here is the todo app from my demo at this month’s meetup. Sorry for the delay in posting it. It took me a little longer to port it to EmberJS than I had expected.

If anyone has questions on this todos app, SproutCore or EmberJS please feel free to ping me. I’m always happy to help. My twitter account is @workmanw.

October – CouchDB

Here’s a link dump from this month’s meeting. I hope you’re all super exicted about building CouchApps!

It was mentioned that it might be helpful to show a walkthrough of setting up a CouchApp. I’ll try to work on that and post something here.

And don’t forget about #couchdb on freenode! Relax!
