JavaScript Workshop

Get your skills up to speed for JavaScript, the oft-misunderstood language of the web, in this full day workshop. We'll start from the very basics and learn the ins-and-outs of JavaScript. We'll look at the (many) quirks in JavaScript, and work through advanced features that make this language so powerful.

We'll talk about JavaScript design patterns, frameworks, and conventions. We'll end the day with and advanced, hands-on session, on functional programming in JavaScript. Come with an open-mind and ready to dig into code!

This workshop requires a laptop, and assumes the attendee has ZERO knowledge of JavaScript. We'll break down your bad habits, and build upon known patterns and best practices to raise your JavaScript-fu.
