Presented by: Giles Bowkett
Simplicity is good, but what happens when your problems aren't simple? In this talk, I'll discuss some of the complexities of handling events and DOM rendering that are overlooked in many Javascript frameworks. We'll then see how Ember provides sophisticated solutions to these issues so that you don't have to.

How do we determine the sentiment of text in a world where syntax and grammer are thrown out of the window? Utilizing Node and Natural, a NLP (Natural Language Processing) toolkit, we'll go through a few techniques ranging from manual polarity determination to machine learning classification, all the while highlighting the challenges of analyzing text in a "post-grammatical" world.
