Harald Rudell will give an informal lightning talk titled Publishing Node God and Thoughts on Templating
Adam Christian will present on browser testing
Learn a bit about the available Javascript projects available for driving functional browser tests, how you can use headless modes and integrate with unit testing frameworks to save time and engineering effort. Outside contributions have rapidly brought my WD.js project to being a full featured supporter of the WebDriver JSON wire protocol, but there is a lot of work left to be done. I would also like to share some lessons and best practices we have learned about automated testing internally and working with the varied customer base at Sauce Labs.
Eric Elliott will present on Fluent JavaScript: Code Like a JavaScript Native
JavaScript looks familiar, but the similarity to other C-family languages is only skin deep. JavaScript's DNA comes from Scheme and Smalltalk. Developers approaching JavaScript from a Java or C++ perspective often code with an accent. If you drop the accent and take advantage of JavaScript's native features, your code can be much more flexible and robust.
Eric Elliott is the author of Programming JavaScript Applications,
available now as an early release from O'Reilly.
Microsoft is sponsoring the drinks.

I wasn't so interested in the JS Unit testing but unfortunately the schedule was changed and that came first. Unfortunately I couldn't stay for longer I really wanted to hear about the templating.

We just grab a coffee and speak French. Some people have been coming every week for months... it creates a kind of warmth to the group.
