RWX / CDX
Fort Lauderdale · November 27 - 30, 2012
About this Presentation
There is so much happening in the JavaScript world that it is impossible to keep up. There are literally hundreds of libraries and projects that you should know..but how can you find them? Why does every project have a name that says nothing about what it does? We need a guide to make sense of it all! JavaScript Safari Expedition to the rescue!
In this session, we'll learn about JavaScript frameworks, engines,templates, CSS processors, loaders, graphic libraries, physics engines, transpilers (eg CoffeeScript), and testing. We'll see the biggest projects that you've heard about (or not). When our safari ends, you'll know about many of the wonderful things that can be done in JavaScript, the biggest names in the land, and where you should go for your next expedition (or web application).
