Q: what do Terms of Use & Privacy Policy pages; personal websites; & online publications have in common?

A: they are all islands of static content, which may be presented in a richer app environmentor not!

Aidan Nulman (@anulman), recently from Isle of Code, will visit us from Toronto to talk about building a headless Content Management System (CMS) using Ember CLI for his latest project, Connie: the conversational cooking assistant. We also have lightning talks!

Aidan will discuss three pillars of a performant CMS driven by the Ember CLI tooling you know & love, namely:

* Leveraging Markdown for ergonomic content authoring;
* Exposing app components & data within your content blocks; and
* Loading your content (and its metadata!) asynchronously.

This talk will include slides & live coding, & there will be time for Q&A.

## Lightning Talks

* "How popular React patterns look in Ember" by Joseph Morales from MovableInk (https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephxmorales)

We have room for some more lightning talks (5-10 minutes). Please get in touch with isaac __dot__ ezer __at__ gmail __dot__ com if you would like to present.
