Logan Bell - ‎Templates as a service - with swig.js‎

OverviewAt Shutterstock we like to try occasional unorthodox ideas and see if they will fly. During one of our quarterly hackathons we came up with a surprisingly fast template service that we currently call "Swig As A Service". After we wrote the service we integrated it into Dancer.After that, we then took this hack and bundled it up and put it onGithub. As part of this talk I would like to cover the following:* Go over what SaaS is and why it could be useful for the next webapplication one might build.* Explain why we chose to run this in Node.js and a little bit about Swig.js* Talk briefly about some of our challenges, why this is even a sane idea.* Recruit people to start taking it for a spin.Length of Presentation:20 MinutesMinimum Level of Knowledge:Interest in exploring different ways of serving up HTML Experiencewith Dancer would be beneficial. Beginner to intermediate level of web programming.Requirements:Just a projector and a sense of humor.About SpeakerMy name is Logan Bell and I am a lead software developer at Shutterstock.
