We decided to do our first about one of the hottest topics in the web development world, Node.js. | ||
|
||
We will start with a quick introduction to Node.js and then go over a few uses of Node.js and when not to use it. We will then dive into a few popular frameworks and see what each is good for and which you should use for your projects. | ||
|
||
Note: the exact topics will be subject to change due to time and other considerations. If you have other ideas for talks, or want to tell us what we *must* cover contact us on twitter [@winnipegjs](http://www.twitter.com/winnipegjs). | ||
|
||
Remeber to RSVP to the event if you are planning on attending. Hope to see you all there! | ||

Test Driven Development is software development methodology based on "test first" approach. | ||
|
||
That means that before even writing a line of code we need to write a test for it. | ||
|
||
Benefits of applying TDD includes: | ||
|
||
* Increase development confidence | ||
* Improve quality of the code and use quality as a driver | ||
* Regression testing at any point | ||
* Automatic documentation | ||
* Bring back the joy of coding! | ||

The idea seems fine for languages like C# however what about Javascript? Javascript is quite a popular language (if not the most) so, are we condemned to test the UI every time I want to test my JS code? Why can't we do TDD with it? | ||

Having started with languages like C++ and Java he spent many years coding in C# and training other developers in topics such domain modeling, abstractions, patterns, automation, dependency injection, testing, etc. Being an incurable geek, always thirsty for knowledge, his passion for technology moved him towards Ruby on Rails a few years ago, becoming an advocate of RoR web development. Also following he's teaching passion he did his first RoR training a year ago, and recently a TDD training with great reviews. Amir is a rare combination of high technical skills, lots of experience in a wide range of platforms, exceptional presentation skills and great sense of humor. His presentations are always rich in content and fun to attend. | ||

Phonegap is a platform that bridges the shortcomings of standard mobile web and native applications. It provides a standard API and tools to produce a compiled native application, while still using Javascript as our language of choice. | ||
|
||
Mobile device usage has grown at an incredible pace, both in developed and developing countries. The opportunities within this mobile space are huge, however, the fast differences between the environment and languages for each platform introduces many challenges. Mobile Web applications provide us with most of the tools and Phonegap gets us the rest of the way. | ||
|
||
We will first discuss Mobile Web, see how far its come and see a simple demonstration of what it can do. Then, we will move onto Phonegap, what problems it solves, how it can be extended and some caveats of the platform. | ||

|
||
Kevin Quiring will be talking about CoffeeScript and how his team at Winnipeg Transit is using it to help them solve real problems. Problems that would otherwise require nasty hacks if they were written in plain javascript. He will also touch base on the criticism around coffee and why you should use it in your next project. | ||

Let's meetup again and bring this community back on track again. The JS related topic for this meetup is not yet determined and will be announced later. Since Canadian Tire established their new data centre and design studio in Winnipeg, they have been planning to help build a stronger User Groups community and decided to join Winnipeg.js. At this meetup, Adam Merrifield and Craig Haney from the Canadian Tire Innovations in Kitchener will talk about their vision for Winnipeg's developer community and Canadian Tire's new design studio. There will probably be one or two speakers at the event presenting some JS related topics. If anybody would like to present something that is JS related, please let us know. You can contact us on Twitter or via email. We hope to see everybody again at this event ... share our experiences, catch up and have simply fun hanging out. And, of course, food and beverages will be provided, as always. |

Microsoft <3 JavaScript | ||
----------------------- | ||
Microsoft has been typically seen as this big, evil, restrictive, prescriptive company that is entirely | ||
anti-open source. But oh how the times have changed! Microsoft has embraced open source JavaScript frameworks | ||
as part of their web stack, improved tooling support to better support JavaScript, and even made available | ||
an object-oriented JavaScript library called TypeScript. In this session I'll walk you through the *new* | ||
Microsoft and show you how they're being good neighbors in the JavaScript community. | ||
|
||
### About the Speaker | ||
|
||
D'Arcy Lussier is the Microsoft Practice Lead for Online Business Systems, a Winnipeg professional services | ||
company. He brings over a decade of industry experience, specifically around Microsoft's web stack. Extremely | ||
active in the developer community, D'Arcy has been involved with technology user groups for a number of years, | ||
been awarded the Microsoft MVP award for ASP.NET for the last 8 years, started and ran the Winnipeg Code Camp, | ||
and has run the Prairie Developer Conference since 2010 across the Canadian prairies. | ||

Introduction to Angular and Breeze | ||
---------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Learn the fundamentals of AngularJS and watch as I build a sample application using AngularJS, Breeze.js, | ||
and Hot Towel all within Visual Studio! | ||

||
### About the Speaker | ||
|
||
Mike Sigsworth is a consultant from Online Business Systems with over 7 years of experience working with | ||
ASP.NET and C#. When he's not chasing around his two-year old son, he can be found in front of his laptop | ||
working and/or playing with some manner of code, which has lately been a whole lot of Angular. | ||
