When:

Thursday, June 4th, 2009 @ 7pm

Where:

Hotel Indigo. Use this link to get driving directions to the hotel to avoid a Google Maps bug or use these directions from the Arlington Park Metra station.

Schedule:

Show & Tell
We'll start out the meeting by going around the table and talking about what we're currently working on or learning about. Handouts are welcome, or bring along your Mac and we'll hook it up to the projector.

Book Reports
Bring along the book you're currently reading, or one of your old favorites. Hopefully the book would have some relevance to programming, but we're fairly open-minded. Just give us an overview the book's topic, and what you liked (or disliked) about it.

Topics
Jonathan ‘Wolf’ Rentzsch will talk about the modern generation of JavaScript frameworks: Cappuccino, JavaScriptMVC and SproutCore. There are considerable differences between these framework, and those differences are illustrative regarding the challenges for building Web Client-Server apps.

Dinner
Please Bring Your Own Beverage. And food.

Looking for Presenters:

I'm always on the look-out for folks to want to give a talk for a meeting. The talk doesn't need to be long (10 minutes is fine if your topic is small or you just want to tease the group) and you don't need to be an expert (just tell us why you think your topic is cool or your experiences). Toss me an email and I'll assign you a chunk of time.
