Details

How often do you look at the tools available to you outside of your web framework of choice and your relational database? In this talk, we will explore creating a fully functional web site without the use of a traditional web server and without a relational database backend. Based on this exploration, you can see which of these tools can help you build applications more effectively. Bring your buzzword bingo cards because in this session we will cover the cloud using Windows Azure, node.js, backbone.js, and coffeescript.
