We host presentations and discussions on everything J avaScript-related - including JavaScript frameworks\, node.js\, CoffeeSc ript\, and whatever else comes up. \;\n \;\nTHIS IS NOT OUR USUAL LOCATION! This month only\, the meeting will be at Elemental Technologi es. \;\n \;\nWe have three presentations on the agenda this month: \;\n \;\n## JavaScript\, Hardware and the Internet of Things\, pr esented by Gerald Aden \;\n \;\nInternet of Things has become a hu ge opportunity for software\, hardware and designers alike to create sol utions for both consumers and businesses. We'll explore how to get star ted using JavaScript/Node.js\, a Raspberry PI and the Cloud to easily ge t started developing for this exciting space. \;\n \;\n## RactiveJ S\, presented by Marty Nelson \;\n \;\nRactive.js is a template-dr iven UI library. Unlike other tools that generate inert HTML\, it transf orms your templates into blueprints for apps that are interactive by def ault. Ractive was originally created at theguardian.com by Rich Harris t o produce news applications. These apps are heavily interactive\, combin e HTML and SVG\, and are developed under extreme deadline pressure. It h as to work reliably across browsers\, and perform well even on mobile de vices. \;\n \;\nRactive is a library\, not a framework. Where some tools force you to learn a new vocabulary and structure your app in a p articular way\, Ractive works for you\, not the other way around – and i t plays well with other libraries. In this talk\, we'll go over the main features of Ractive.js\, and also show possible integrations that highl ight the varied approaches to working with Ractive. \;\n \;\nMarty Nelson is a contributor to the Ractive open-source project. A 15 year v eteran (survivor?) of enterprise software development he has been a deve loper\, manager and lead architect. The last few years he has been focus ed on javascript\, both in node and the browser\, and web and mobile app development with HTML5. \;\n \;\n## Mystery bonus presentation 3\;\n \;\nWe may or may not be able to get to the final presentation. So for now it will remain a mysterious secret! \;\n \;\nFeel fre e to join our mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/pdxjs if yo u too are a JavaScript admirer.
