I presented a talk about my experiences developing Open Source JavaScript applications for CS Blogs today at the JavaScript Cambridge user group.
I covered
- how your intended developer audience should affect your technical decisions
- how a good application doesn’t always become a good open source project
- how to structure an application or system to make it easy to contribute to
- how the CS Blogs workflow fits together
After having received some feedback from Charlotte, who watched the whole thing, I intend to make some improvements to the structure of the presentation and submit it to some other conferences.
I’m not sure how much sense the slides will make without me talking around them, but they’re available here.
