My guess is 75 people showed up at Dolores Labs last night for this meetup. It lasted about two hours and had about 6 great presentations. Douglas Crockford kicked it off with a discussion on upcoming security models around new versions of JavaScript followed by several other presentations that included a Google engineer showing cool Google Labs projects, several JavaScript frameworks and other very cool things. Dolores Labs is down a small alley where I was sure I was lost. Marked 83A was a non descript door with two flights of stairs. Then, a roomful of engineers, lots of ethernet connections, beer and pizza. What else could we ask for.
Below are some fun pictures I took. Not sure if it does justice to the fun that was had.
Many thanks to Matt Humphrey for organizing the event. Job well done!!!

ASP.NET: Membership with Profile and High Performance ExtJS JavaScript Interface
When:
Wednesday, 5/20/2009 at 6:30 PM
Where:
Microsoft Office, 835 Market Street, Suite 700, San Francisco
Event Description
In this session, we will demonstrate building a super rich JavaScript interface to the standard ASP.NET Membership and Profile services. That is, built into ASP.NET are wonderful providers that allow you to validate and store user credentials typically to a database. It also lets you store other information such as pictures, first and last names, as well as anything else you may want to store. In this session we will build a highly performing, 100% JavaScript UI to maintain hundreds of thousands of users. As part of this solution, techniques for using REST based services to access this information will be presented. Once you see this, it will be hard to ever use web forms again.
