Come See Me Speak at AJAXWorld West

Please excuse the break in my MVC series, I just want to announce that one of my talks has been accepted for AJAXWorld 2008 West. I will be presenting on The Beauty of JavaScript — a topic of great interest to me as of late.

If you want to see me speak, see if you can get your boss to pay for your fare. The lineup for the recent AJAXWorld East was pretty phenomenal (Doug Crockford gave the keynote… need I say more?) and I’m certain this event will be even better. If you can’t get your boss to flip the bill, submit a proposal. At the time of this writing the CFP is still open.

For those of you who are interested, my session abstract is as follows:

The Beauty of JavaScript

JavaScript is one of the most interesting and misunderstood programming languages in common use today. Most developers will go their entire careers without realizing its full potential. It’s not often that you get a language that supports the feature set that JavaScript does, while still being as widely deployed. This talk will spotlight some some patterns surrounding JavaScript’s most elegant features such as closures, lambdas, object and array literals, object prototypes, private members and dynamic scope resolution — all without boring you to tears.
