The SF JavaScript Meetup

SF JS November Meetup (#4)

The San Francisco JavaScript November Meetup (#4) will be on November 25th at 5:30PM in the Magma Conference Room of CNET Networks. Come hang out and listen to some great talks about JavaScript, and network with some of the best technical and startup folks around. The first three meetups have been excellent, and we're going to keep them rolling. It's been almost 3 months since our last event, so I am excited that there will be a lot of new and very cool stuff to talk about. I know we're a little close to Thanksgiving on this one, but I think a majority of people will still be around two days before, so join us on Tuesday before you head off for the holiday.
Agenda: 5:30 - 5:45 : Casual networking, talking about JS stuff, waiting for the room to fill up 5:45 - 6:45 : A few 10 minute talks and questions on JS-related code, frameworks, technologies, etc 6:45 - ???? : Followup questions for speakers, further networking, and whatever As a note, we're going a little earlier than normal on this one and as of now, there will
not be food (we'll keep it short so you can all run off to dinner afterwards). That said, if anyone is interested in a food sponsorship for the event, do let me know. I'll keep you all posted with details about this should anything change.
Other than that, see you all on Tuesday November 25th, and there's one or maybe two spots left to talk so if anyone wants to discuss something, shoot me an email ASAP because the spots will go fast. Best, Matt

I've been meaning to learn JS and going to this Meetup has gotten me more pumped than ever to move to the exciting world of front end engineering.

This meet-up is superb because it gives me an opportunity to learn the features of JavaScript and also interact with other people who share the same interests.

Mario's talk about Orbited javascript, and tcp/ip in the browser, with all the technical hiccups was FXXKING AWESOME. He could do standup.

Douglas Crockford's talk was super-good. Very crisp, good information.

Jed Schmidt's coverage of bookmarklets had more information than i expected, and he blew my doors off with the quantity of information he delivered.

I am not sure what to think about the format of this meetup. I really like the short talks but on the other hand I would also prefer to hear more in depth talks. Maybe a combinatiion of one "featured" half hour talk and a bunch of 10 minute talks would be nice.

Overall pretty interesting. Was hoping for more technical depth, but actually got the most out of YUI's higher-level architectural philosophy.

Hey all, this one should be good. Tentatively we have talks on pub/sub architectures, jslint, mootools, bookmarklets, js.io/orbited, and more from some great people in the community. Don't miss out.
