Toronto JavaScript

We're BACK! Your Favourite Event (maybe, I dunno, I'm partial to it)

Friends + Code = LOVE!

TorontoJS Social is our lightest event where like minds get together, have a snack or drink, and talk javascript/coding. Feel free to bring your laptop, but there is no specific programming/talk portion to the event.

We'll be at the Watson's for the last Wednesday of the month! Come talk JavaScript, Development, and Community!

This event is open to all skill levels.

Welcome to the JS Workshop! This is a place for intermediate and advanced JavaScript developers to learn new skills, experiment with interesting technologies and have tons of fun.

The speakers codes on the projector-er-shared screen, and everyone in the room copies that code into their own laptops. You'll go home with an exciting new program, and if there's time left over at the end you'll do something cool with it and show a demo to everyone. Fun!

Prerequisites:

- A laptop with a web dev environment, including an editor and a local server

- Some proficiency in JavaScript

- A cheerful and inquisitive attitude

- An appetite for knowledge

Timetable:

6:30 - doors open

7:00 - workshop code-along

8:30 - extend the codebase

9:00 - everyone goes[stays] home

We're BACK! With a special JS Tech-Talk!

On web maps markers are used to represent locations. Zoomed in, this looks fine initially but if two locations are too close together when zoomed out, markers look like they're overlapping. Looks ugly, right? This talk explores the Quadtree approach to search for geometric points in a plane accurately and instantly and how this can be used in clustering map markers.
