It's time for SF JS #3 hosted by Serious Business and sponsored by WaveMaker.

(7PM-9:30PM - Monday, August 18th, 2008 - 580 Market Street, 6th Floor, San Francisco CA, 94104)

As always, we will have plenty of awesome JavaScripters attending, a number of great talks on cutting-edge scripting concepts, and excellent networking potential. Come and hang out with the best scripters in the Bay Area, learn a lot, eat free food, and have fun.


Agenda

7:00PM - Event starts and food (...and lots of it!) will be ready for eating
7:20PM - A few words from our hosts, sponsors, and us
7:30PM - An hour of high-quality talks and demos (5x12min)
8:30PM - Networking, talking, learning, discussing, more questions for speakers, more eating, whatever...
9:30PM - Start to wrap things up

...and afterwards at least a few of us will head down to a local bar and carry on the conversation. All are welcome to join!


A couple things we're doing differently this time:

  • Talks will be strictly 10 minutes + 2 minutes Q&A (we'll have the timer out--really, we will!)
  • We'll have soft copies of talks on a backup machine to minimize projector/computer troubles and delays should we have any (apologies for the minor glitches last time)
  • We're going to have a ton of food/drinks/etc (much more than ever before) thanks to our extremely generous sponsors (WaveMaker)
  • We're closer to Bart, bus, and parking (under Union Square is the best bet--2 block walk)

    Hey all, Thanks for coming last night. It was a lot of fun, and I hope you all had a good time. I started a SlideShare page for the meetup with all of the talks that were via PPT last night: http://www.slideshare.net/s...
