Grok Talk (5-10 Minutes):
TBD
Main Talk (Approximately 1 hour): Single page web apps using node.js and Windows Azure - Dennis Burton
How often do you look at the tools available to you outside of your web framework of choice and your relational database? In this talk, we will explore creating a fully functional web site without the use of a traditional web server and without a relational database backend. Based on this exploration, you can see which of these tools can help you build applications more effectively. Bring your buzzword bingo cards because in this session we will cover the cloud using Windows Azure, node.js, backbone.js, and coffeescript.
A light dinner will be served at 5:30, followed by the presentation at 6pm. If you're interested in attending, please RSVP by Saturday, February 18 to Contact@DevMI.com so we can get an accurate number for food and seating. If you require a parking tag for the ramps behind the College of Engineering building, please let us know that in your RSVP as well.
Meeting Room
The meeting room will be in room C-124, in the College of Engineering Building on WMU's Parkview Campus (driving directions). The building is organized into 7 sections, lettered A-G, where Section A is closest to US-131 and Section D is the central hub. The meeting room is on the the first floor. You can park in either ramp, but we recommend getting as close to the center of the building as you can.
Single-event parking tags are required for the ramps behind the building, and will be available for anyone who needs one (please park and see Mark Gilbert or Mike Eaton).
Speaker Bio
Dennis Burton is a web developer with SRT Solutions whose diverse portfolio includes online learning management systems, precision measurement using high speed data acquisition applications, as well as automotive diagnostic software. Since the beginning of his career, he has been working with systems that require processing large amounts of data quickly.
Dennis has been around long enough to be old to some and young to others, but firmly believes that what you do with your time is more important than how long you have been spending it. As an active member of the development community, Dennis serves on the board of the Lansing .NET User Group, the Ann Arbor .NET User Group and as an organizer for the Lansing Day of .NET.
You can find him rambling on as @dburton on Twitter and on his blog at developusing.net
