Justin Meyer
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.

Blake ThomasI think that the division into 'beginner' & 'advanced' talks was uneven; One beginner talk & two or three advanced talks would be more appropriate.

Gabriel SaraviaPRESENTATIONS: 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??)?

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.
