If you haven’t had much of a chance to do some deep JavaScript work, this conference is a great 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.
