This month software craftsman Jim Suchy from 8th Light will be presenting on Node.js and how it can be used with the Heroku cloud host.

Description:

If you live in or near McHenry County, Illinois then I'd like to invite you out to our July meeting. Come find out what is behind all of the hype surrounding Node.js.  Node is described as "evented I/O for V8 JavaScript."  We will discuss what this means, how it differs from traditional network servers, and we will demonstrate how to easily solve some problems that are difficult in most popular server-side programming frameworks.

We've also been busy coordinating with the folks at Duke's Alehouse in Crystal Lake to host our meetings. Come on out for the content, but stay for the excellent beer and local grass-fed, farm-raised beef hamburgers!
