Event: Our Experience Building OVEE on 12/6
We just wrapped up the first phase of a project for ITVS, the Independent Television Service, and want to share the experience. We built OVEE, the online video engagement experience, on a short schedule with a small team. OVEE is a highly-interactive application built using node.js, mongodb, and a slew of other new tools/frameworks.
Our talk is going to cover product design, process and technology. We want to share the whole experience of building a product, not just the technical details.
Product Design Topics
- Design and development process
- Usability testing
- Prioritizing features to match a budget
Technical Topics
- Overview of the architecture and technical stack (node.js, express, jade, socket.io, flash, etc)
- Using development spikes to reduce technical risk
- Testing node.js
- Lessons learned
After our talk we’ll turn it around and open the floor for those in attendance to share their relevant experience, in 5-10 minute mini-talks.
