Headliner: Two tier app development WITHOUT Rails / John Rothfield6:30 - 7:00: Open mic7:00 - 8:15: Featured presentation8:15 - 8:30: Jobs Offered / wanted / door prizesPresentation AbstractIt is possible to create single page Ajax applications without an app server such as Rails. This talk discusses Rails-like tools, frameworks and libraries (many inspired by Ruby/Rails) that make this possible. An example app will be presented that uses only Javascript with CouchDB as a backend. No middle tier is necessary, as the controller and view logic is moved to the browser. No object relational database mapping layer like activerecord is needed because CouchDB serves JSON directly. I also discuss cases where an app server like Rails is necessary and relate the upcoming set of tools to the existing Rails toolset. Bio:John Rothfield - More later...Pre-meetup nosh:We usually meet at the Biryani House (Shattuck @ University) around 5:00pm for snacks and tech talk. Either Rich or Jon will be there... or someone else from the group. Join us if you can and enjoy the food and the discussion.
