JavaScript basics

DePaul Center (map)

Selected By: A former member

As we seem to have a few requests for solid JavaScript foundation knowledge, the topics for our third meetup are:


  • Basic inheritance in JavaScript
  • Things to avoid in JavaSript
  • Javascript and DOM


To get to the meetup room you will want to enter through the Barnes and Noble. Take the escalator towards the back one flight down and the room will be right there. The room we have reserved is DPC Concourse 101. There will be a 8 by 11 inch sign that says GETCO and Chicago Java Script Meet Up. The room will have an LCD projector and a white board.

    Good brain-stretcher. My comfort zone is usually somewhere just over my head.

    It seems that my presentation was a little difficult to grasp for much of the group. Unfortunately, JS inheritance, even with a strong background in the language, can be difficult to understand. However, I think that we should still have more 'advanced' talks on occasion. The group has members of all stripes. And, as members progress in their skills, the same basic talks will provide little value. And, to keep the more advanced members engaged, we need to provide them with talks they find useful. Of course, in proportion to the audience, the 'advanced' talk was far too long. This was hard to avoid because the advanced talks will generate more questions. I had timed myself at 10 minutes. In the future, the more advanced talks should be at the end. This will hopefully prevent those new to JS from feeling like a fish out of water. I can't wait until I get the opportunity to talk about closures!

    It was a great introduction to the basics of the language from a CS perspective. Not so good from the "getting things done" perspective, but very good from the "knowing what you're doing" perspective. I look forward to more meetups.
