In case you haven’t noticed, I’m just past the halfway mark on my series on Responsible JavaScript. If you haven’t been following it, be sure to check it out — there’s some good stuff in there.
Tonight, I’ll be giving a talk at Refresh NYC on this very topic. If you’re in NYC, I hope to see you there! If not, bookmark this post as I’ll be posting the slides here after the talk.
Forget what you know about JavaScript… We’ve been told of all its glories and all of its failings. The fact of the matter is that it’s a greatly under-appreciated language with a few well-documented mistakes.
Most of us are quite familiar with best practices in JavaScript programming; the most common of which are to avoid the “bad parts” at all costs. This talk will discuss many of these bad parts in depth and show you ways that you can continue using them in your programs responsibly.
You can RSVP on the Meetup page.
Update
For those interested (or for those who missed it) you can find the slides on Slideshare.
