    A very insightful look at a few select JavaScript libraries, especially from a point of view of having no experience with them. In our groups, we got several things up and running to see how they worked.

    Great! I got exposure to a lot of new ideas and concepts that I would otherwise not have met. I liked the structured set-up and the people were very welcoming.

    I had a great day and learnt a lot. I thought the early discussions were very useful Like many who aren't familiar with package management, or only have a passing acquaintance with NuGet, I didn't properly grok the problem that package management addresses. So not only did I gain a deeper understanding of the value of package management, I was in a much better position to get the most out of the hands-on session and the discussion with Sebastien. I also thought the format ensured that the more laconic attendees had their voices heard. I now have a much better understanding of OpenWrap's role, not merely consuming 3rd party code but as an internal tool for managing complex projects. It was an invaluable opportunity to learn from other developers and from a recognised leader in the field. So a big thank you to Alan for organising the event and especially to Sebastien for making the trip to Cambridge.

    A very insightful and useful day. Before the event, I had an idea that package management might be a solution to a specific problem I am having, but after attending I am certain it is. The morning took the form of a group discussion about why there is a need for package management and what problems it can solve, followed by a hands-on session to get OpenWrap set up and integrated with an example project. After lunch, Sebastien demoed the new version of OpenWrap, some of its new features and how it has fixed some of the problems that were present in the previous version. We also had lots of good talk about the specifics of how OpenWrap can solve the issues that members of the group were having.

    I didnt expect anyone to join me because I posted the invite only 3 hours before we met and four of us had a great chat in the sun, about data visualisation which led on to us agreeing to plan a Javascript data visualation event for Camdug. Looking forward to that! ;-p

    We spent a while getting Nick set up with the various tools, etc., and got the PhoneGap client into GitHub (be sure to update your fork to get this code). The PhoneGap client is now correctly talking to our Rails service using HTTP+JSON; next we need to work out how to parse the JSON response correctly.

    It was a great chance to meet some people and discuss interesting ideas. I needed to prepare more before attending so that I could have got more out of it.

    We made a good start getting set up on GitHub and Heroku, and started a small Rails app to teach ourselves Ruby and Rails.
