[PJUG Javamail] JavaScript group meeting on Wednesday

[Jesse Hallett]

Please excuse the offtopic post. I know there are a lot of web
programmers working with Java. If anyone is interested in getting to
know JavaScript better, I would be pleased to welcome you to the next
meeting of the Portland JavaScript Admirers. We meet monthly to
discuss topics ranging from client-side web frameworks, to functional
and prototypal programming theory.

The next meeting will be held on Wednesday from 7-9pm at CubeSpace
<http://calagator.org/venues/202389907>. Talks on the agenda for this
meeting are:

* An Introduction to CouchDB from a Beginner's Perspective by Merlyn
Albery-Speyer
* CouchApps, Pure-JavaScript Apps Running on CouchDB Demonstrated by
J. Chris Anderson
* Overview of Mapstraction, a Unified Interface to Various Mapping
APIs by Adam DuVander
* JSONP for Cross-Domain Scripting by Jesse Hallett

Two of the talks are on CouchDB <http://couchdb.apache.org/>. For
those who have not heard about it, CouchDB is a document-oriented,
highly scalable database written in Erlang and driven by JavaScript.

admirer. Or visit our website at http://pdxjs.com/ for more
