Learning to Love JavaScript
JavaScript spent quite a bit of time being the language we all loved to hate. With the advent of Ajax, very effective open source JavaScript libraries, better interactive JavaScript debuggers, and better JavaScript books that teach modern JavaScript, many of us have transformed our deep contempt for JavaScript into something that borders on love.
This session shows you how to ditch your JavaScript contempt, and if not love, at least understand and respect JavaScript for the powerhouse it is today. You simply can't build modern browser-based applications without it. This session covers:
- A brief overview of JavaScript syntax and mechanics
- An explanation into some of JavaScript's darker corners including closures, its dynamic nature, and its functional underpinnings
- A look at how to use open source tools to improve your use of JavaScript
- Several examples of JavaScript in action
At the end of the session, we will all hold hands and profess a newfound love of JavaScript!
