After a hiatus that took longer than we'd intended we're
back with our November event. As usual we're at Campus North but we've
got a change of date - it's a Thursday this month rather then the usual
Wednesday.
Building Realtime apps with RethinkDB and Node.JS - Matt Collins

make developing for the Realtime Web easy. We'll talk about
changefeeds, clustering and how combining with Node.js can help you
avoid some of the pitfalls of building rich, engaging, Realtime Apps to
scale and across multiple platforms.
By the end of this talk you be ready to go back to the office and create your first Realtime App with RethinkDB and Node.
