> We love Berlin.JS. The variety of the talks reflects the flexibility of
> the language. JavaScript is a broad subject, so we would like to dig
> deeper into a specific topic: client-side JavaScript applications.

> There are plenty of frameworks which assist in building client-side
> JavaScript applications (“HTML5 apps”). But most of them lack best
> practices and case studies regarding large-scale applications.
> Especially, smaller libraries like Backbone.js are used for this purpose
> without providing a scalable structure on their own.

> To discuss these problems, we’re announcing apps.berlin.js, the first
> meet-up on JavaScript Web apps in Berlin. It’s an official Berlin.JS
> spin-off. We kindly invite you to join us on Thursday, May 10th 2012 at
> the Moviepilot headquarter in Kreuzberg[2].

> There will be a focus on Backbone.js and its ecosystem, but we’re open
> to discuss other libraries and topics as well. The first talk will be a
> short introduction to Chaplin[1] and its ongoing development. Chaplin is
> a sample architecture for JS applications based on Backbone.

> Further details and talks will be announced shortly on this mailing list
> and on @berlinjs, so please stay tuned. Until then we’d love to hear
> your feedback and suggestions. If you would like to give a talk or start
> a discussion, please let us know!

> Regards
> Mathias Schäfer & the Chaplin team
