Potpourri

Redis, Resque, and Background processing – Brian Smith

An intro to using Redis and Resque for all your background processing needs.

How to turn Javascript into web serving awesome! – Kevin Marvin

A brief demonstration of using NodeJS, ExpressJS, MongoDB and EJS to make a web app that screams. We will spend some time talking about:

  • The difficulty in moving to a new, bleeding edge platform
  • Using a framework that so closely resembles Sinatra it could be his evil twin
  • What kinds of performance one can expect from Closure driven development
  • Hacking Helpers – How to type less and include more

Bios:

Brian is a developer. He likes code and lots of it. He also likes beer, and once again, lots of it. There’s other stuff he likes too. He works on memoryreel.com doing awesome things with apis

Kevin is a professional amateur. Currently the CIO of MODx LLC – the company behind the MODx PHP CMS/CMF, he’s been a systems engineer, network architect, PHP coder, Ruby / Rails coder, and now thinks getting a bloody nose with the latest thing is more fun than anything.
