2009 Session: JavaScript: The Good Parts
Wednesday, 11:20 - 12:10
Track: Web Development
In JavaScript there is a beautiful, highly expressive language that is buried under a steaming pile of good intentions and blunders. The best nature of JavaScript was so effectively hidden that for many years the prevailing opinion of JavaScript was that it was an unsightly, incompetent abomination. This session will expose the goodness in JavaScript, an outstanding dynamic programming language.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of any programming language
Expectations
JavaScript has good parts and bad parts. If you avoid the bad parts, it is a very good programming language.
