If you are an absolute beginner, this is the one to come to. I'm working hard to provide a very complete introduction to JavaScript. My goals is that after listening, a beginner will know all the pieces involved, where to get help, and how to put them together.

I can give my Thin Server Architecture talk this time. I was also thinking about a tricks of the trade talk. It would cover all the little tricks+tools people should know when building an application. Random yes, but might fill in some pieces in people's JavaScript map.

  “ Good mix of talks for all levels of experience! ”
- Jason Huggins
  
  “ Loved the Q&A on Flash vs Canvas-tag after the Processing.js presentation by Ginny. ”
- Blake Thomas
  
  “ I think that the division into 'beginner' & 'advanced' talks was uneven; One beginner talk & two or three advanced talks would be more appropriate. ”
- Jeff Callen
  
  “ Learned a great deal, and I won a javascript book, what's not to like?!? ”
- Hayley
  
  “ It was hard to see or hear anything in the back. ”
- Gabriel Saravia
  
  “ PRESENTATIONS: Unfortunately, I was late because of I-290 traffic and so missed a lot of the begining talk, which, knowing as little as I do about JS, i would have benefitted from most. However, i definitely got a lot out of the presentation about closures, and it really helped me understand both this javascript principle as well JS syntax. FORMAT: Great format for both getting some javascript and some networking in, I applaud the presenters in thinking through this aspect of the meeting! REFRESHMENTS: Provided pizza and beer = pretty great. Could we get some soft drinks (maybe Coke Zero??)? ”
