Book Club - JavaScript: The Good Parts - Ch 5-10
Details
RECAP:
05Feb15 was a fantastic meetup with ~12+ attendees. We reviewed chapters 1-4 and then some. If you didn't make it, just some of the things you missed:
- discussion of JavaScript's 'this' keyword
- use of jsbin.com to test code (also, live coding examples during the meetup)
- immediately-invoked function expressions (thanks to Patrick for white boarding this and providing the link): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediately-invoked_function_expression
- various 'in the wild' behaviors one may expect as they progress in their JS skill set
In all, a great meetup filled with code, pizza and more code. Lots of great conversation, questions and answers throughout the night. UP NEXT:
During our next meetup, we'll spend time discussing chapters 5-10 and letting the conversation roll along with questions, answers, white boarding and live coding to meet all your JavaScript needs.
So mark your calendars, let us know you're coming and, as always...
Happy reading and see you then!
