This talk will provide a detailed view into a new platform IBM is building that is optimized for time and simplicity. This new platform allows you to build modern web applications easily and quickly with an event-driven, scripting centric programming model and an optimized runtime. This talk will provide an overview of the project and a detailed look at the programming model, including samples and demos. We will also discuss a new form of commercial software development being used with this project.
