Post: CanberraJS Meetup, 30th October 2013 6PM

Canberra JS is on again, this Wednesday the 30th, 6PM, at Icelab! (Level 3 8-10 Hobart Place, Canberra City, ACT 2601 | 6162 0241)

We've got some great talks lined up:

• Rod Vagg of nodejs.org.au notoriety will be delivering his oft-talked-about "Learn You Node For Great Good" — a great introduction to Node.js for experienced and inexperienced javascript-practitioners alike (although it might help to brush up on callbacks first, if you're unsure!)
• Daniel Nitsche will be showing us behind the scenes of his new JavaScript based budget planning tool, Planspend. Interested in Backbone, Express, Mocha, or MongoDB? This is the talk for you.
• Wayne Lee-Archer of ESRI will be demonstrating his crazy plane tracker (seriously, this thing is cool) and talking about building node applications to handle huge datasets in real time. If you're interested in doing this yourself, or you're just curious to see what's possible — you won't want to miss it. He's also our local expert on doing Geo stuff with JS!

From about 7:30 we'll be doing dinner and drinks at Uni Pub, same as last time.

As always — please don't hesitate to let Hugh Evans or myself know if you've got suggestions, ideas for presentations, proposals, complaints, concerns or just questions — and please bring your JS-interested work colleagues and friends!

Looking forward to seeing you!
