Trellis is a component-based, event-driven Web micro-framework that provides a DSL to describe web applications in terms of pages, components and events. It combines the best features of desktop application development and modern MVC frameworks like Rails and Sinatra. Trellis pushes the complexity of building web applications onto components allowing you to build simple lightweight applications or complex, feature-rich applications.

In this session, Brian will introduce you to the idea of component based web development and also review several applications.
