Berlin local Alexander Lang, will be presenting on building edgy web apps with CouchDB and JavaScript.
More and more applications move away from classic desktop apps into the Internet. Taking HTML/CSS, JavaScript and today's browsers we can develop complex apps with rich user interfaces. The problem of these "cloud" applications is that they rely on central servers and a permanent internet connection, which even today is not always available.
In this talk I demonstrate how to write applications that can run on servers as well as locally on a computer. After being offline any data changes can be synchronized back easily, using CouchDB and its replication features.
Alex's Bio:
Alex is the CEO of Upstream Agile GmbH in Berlin where he has been writing mostly Ruby/Rails webapps since 2005. One day he wanted to pass two blocks into a Ruby method but couldn't so he decided to learn JavaScript and his appreciation of the language has been growing since that day.
