Re: [boston] Fwd: Last Chance NEJUG registration reminder: JavaScript Beyond the Basics

Most of you guys are probably on the NEJUG list and already got this message. There is a JavaScript NEJUG meeting tomorrow. I've personally registered, but may balk if the weather is too hairy or I get a bad case of the lazies. I'm more of a "back-end" guy, but I guess it's always good to know your way around the front (of the stack!). BTW, if you missed it, Bill Burke gave a great presentation on REST and RESTEasy last night. Good job, Bill! One warning, if Jesper says "feet," he really means meters :) However, everyone I talked to had fun at the bar last night....a very successful inaugural meeting. Can't wait for the next one. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Last Chance NEJUG registration reminder: JavaScript Beyond the Basics - TRY OUR BOOK EXCHANGE THIS WEEK!

With Ajaxified UIs becoming the norm, this humble language is once again at the forefront. In this talk, we'll go beyond the basics of JavaScript delving into the mysteries of prototype inheritance, objects, language edge cases and the importance of testing. About our speaker: Nathaniel T. Schutta is a senior software engineer focussed on making usable applications. A proponent of polyglot programming, Nate has written two books on Ajax and speaks regularly at various No Fluff Just Stuff symposia, universities, and Java user groups. In addition to his day job, Nate is an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota where he teaches students to embrace dynamic languages. Look forward to seeing you this Thursday.
