Thinking in JavaScript, Node Idioms, and JavaScript Patterns with Rob Richardson

Topic: Thinking in JavaScript, Node Idioms, and JavaScript Patterns

JavaScript is unique in that we generally use it without learning it. Are you programming in JavaScript, but don't feel fluent? Let's take a walk through 3 great JavaScript presentations that highlight the unique and fascinating culture of modern JavaScript. Thinking in JavaScript helps us transition our knowledge from other curly-brace languages to the culture of JavaScript. Node Idioms talks about what makes NodeJS so unique, and how the culture of Node is bleeding into all modern JavaScript. In JavaScript Patterns, we'll look at the dangers of polluting the global namespace, and 5 patterns for defensive JavaScript programming. If you're new to JavaScript or a seasoned veteran, you'll enjoy our very modern, very pragmatic journey through JavaScript.
