Re: A message from Steven Luscher, a member of VanJS: Vancouver Javascript Developers

[Jaime Bueza]

I'm on board--Let's do this. When is the next VanJS presentation? You're not thinking about preparing a Mojo talk for tomorrow are you? I'm assuming you mean the next VanJS meet up.

Based on the comments for tomorrow's VanJS meet-up, there's a lot of interest in 'advanced js' as opposed to 'mobile javascript' (which I was totally voting for)--this is a perfect opportunity to talk about the following:

1) How large and small development teams can benefit from 

• implementation silos, 
• aspect oriented programming, 
• using a service locator,
• using templating,
• and publish/subscribe 

2) How the Blast Mojo Framework can speed up the delivery process by 

• fixing defects faster on top of Blast Mojo's architecture (predictable defects in commands, behaviors, rules)
• easily ramping up more developers that have already been indoctrinated in MVC frameworks, such as,
• rails, 
• django, 
• symfony 
• avoiding spaghetti code -- put that chef hat down!

3) How we've benefited from using Blast Mojo on different projects (EA, Kiwi, RBA, Nintendo, Cox, etc)

4) How easy it is to start Mojo'ing!

• Attract developers that love writing heavyweight Javascript applications (RIAs)

One thing to note: our name conflicts with Palm's WebOS application framework "mojo". Its built version is even called "mojo.js". 

Cheers,
Jaime

Let me email Allen and ask what he has in terms of upcoming dates.

I've put this to rest for now; we all seem too busy to get it together for September.

Let's not kill this idea though, and regroup when things cool down.

Cheers,

Steven…
