Dear Javascript community,

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

We haven�t set the exact time yet, but most likely it will be around
7 PM, like the regular Berlin.JS meetup.

Further details will be announced shortly.

Thanks
Mathias
