This month Bill Hess will be presenting on dynamic web application development using Meteor. What is Meteor (from http://meteorserver.org/) Meteor is an HTTP server which gives developers the freedom to think about web development in an entirely new way. It comprises the Meteor server and a standalone Javascript class which can be used in web pages to provide an abstraction layer for receiving data streams. Designed to be as simple and flexible as possible, Meteor offers a great solution for those wishing to add asynchronous functionality to their web projects. The presentation will include an introduction to this technology which is dubbed "Comet" which is related to "AJAX" - both are names of popular scrubbing powders - get it? A live working example will also be presented and the steps on how it was implemented. Some links to checkout prior to the meeting: http://meteorserver.org/ http://cometdaily.com/ Questions? The meeting location is One ePrize Drive, Pleasant Ridge, MI 48069. The meeting starts at 7pm with food provided by ePrize. Please RSVP to todd.chapman at eprize.com so we can be sure to order enough food for everyone.

Message-ID: <2CB0627B78B5434B90E746FB3DFE491C0299D7DF@bart.eprize.local> Sorry for the late announcement but I am cancelling tonight's meeting. Attendance will be very low and none of the usual hosts are able to run the meeting. Even our presenter has had personal business come up making it sub-optimal for him to present this month.
