Simon, Astro, Dodo – buddycloud

We’ll talk about how  buddycloud can provide a platform for the next generation of social networks to be built on. We will then discuss the buddycloud server and buddycloud webclient architecture choices.

buddycloud is a distributed social network. It is open source, build using javascript, coffeescript and node.js and can be easily integrated into your project to add a complete social stack.

Presenters:

• Simon looks after buddycloud product design.
• Astro has been working on the current buddycloud server.
• Dodo has been working with @mrflix and leading the buddycloud webclient development. He is also championing a distributed github called codetu.be.

Sebastian Slomski – Structuring front-ends with backbone.js

As client side applications become more complicated, organizing and structuring your application is now as important as on the server. Taking the cue from Ruby on Rails and others, new javascript frameworks have begun to spring up using the Model – View – Controller pattern. One of these frameworks is Backbone.js. With a framework like this you can build solid, well organized, testable and maintainable applications for the browser.

Sebastian Slomski works as a Frontend Solution Architect at Catenate. In particular he is focusing on building mobile web apps with Javascript.
