The February meeting for DC ALT.NET will be on February 25th from 7-9PM. Check the our mailing list
for continuing updates and future meetings. This month, Paolo del Mundo will be presenting "Advanced jQuery". With the inclusion of jQuery support from Microsoft, understanding this library is a must. Being the language enthusiast that I am, I'm always looking for deep dives into languages, and Javascript has been one of those languages that I have a passion for. Once again, I'd like to thank the Motley Fool for hosting us this month. We're always looking for sponsors, so if you'd like to sponsor us, please contact me via the mailing list.
JSConf 2009
Just as a side note, for those also interested in Javascript developmment, JSConf 2009 which is shaping up to be one
amazing conference focused around JavaScript in all forms. They have
arranged some of the greatest visionaries and developers within the JS
community from John Resig of jQuery to Jason Huggins from Selenium
testing environment. This is an incredible opportunity for anyone doing
web based development regardless of the langauge. JSConf
2009 will be held in Arlington, VA between April 24 and 25, 2009, which
makes it a great local event for everyone in the Eastern region. The conference
brings together 16 speakers to present on JavaScript development in the
browser, mobile, desktop, and server environments. If you haven't had
much of a chance to do some deep JavaScript work, but have done Java
development, this conference is the best way to learn from some of the
best. Although many people don't realize it, JavaScript can also be
used to build thick client desktop applications. In addition, it is one
of the only languages to successfully bridge object oriented and
functional programming in a way that anyone can use it.
