Azure Search is a new search SAAS offering that substantially lowers the barrier to entry. I'd like to do a live coding lab with the group where we take an application and build some cool search features step by step, like auto-complete/suggestions, faceting, visualizations, etc. I really enjoyed participating in the react workshop (in February maybe?) that followed a similar format. I'd plan on providing a github project that the group could use to follow along, and would likely build the demo application in react (although I'm open to suggestions). I've built some simple search UI in react in the past and would love the chance to expand on it:\r\n\r\nhttps://github.com/AzureSearch/AzureSearchNodeJSIndexerDemo/tree/master/js/UI\r\n\r\nI've given a meetup talk on Azure Search in the past. Here is the summary I used as well as the slide deck that went with it. When given the option, I much prefer live coding demos than PPT.\r\n\r\nhttp://www.slideshare.net/EvanBoyle1/adding-azuresearch\r\n\r\nsummary used for previous meetups:\r\n\r\nMany applications use search as the primary interaction pattern for their users. When it comes to search, user expectations are high. Users expect great relevance, suggestions, and solid linguistics that effortlessly handle spelling mistakes, near-instantaneous responses, multiple language, faceting, and more. During this presentation, Evan Boyle (Engineer on Azure Search) will take a mobile application with a SQL backend and show just how easy it is to add a rich full text search experience with Azure Search.\r\n\r\nSpeaker:\r\n\r\nEvan Boyle is an Engineer for Microsoft's Azure Search. Evan has experience in a variety of fields including security research, data visualization, and predictive analytics. Evan is currently responsible for the management and monitoring experience in the new Azure portal.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/seattlejs/seattlejs/issues/comments/165911735","html_url":"https://github.com/seattlejs/seattlejs/issues/39#issuecomment-165911735","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/seattlejs/seattlejs/issues/39","id":165911735,"user":{"login":"hamoore","id":15896126,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/15896126?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/hamoore","html_url":"https://github.com/hamoore","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hamoore/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hamoore/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hamoore/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hamoore/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hamoore/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hamoore/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hamoore/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hamoore/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hamoore/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-18T22:30:14Z","updated_at":"2015-12-18T22:30:14Z","body":"I'm sorry we haven't gotten back to you yet on this!
