I remember back in 2006 my good friend Greg McCarroll was involved in setting up the first London JavaScript Night – an evening of technical talks about anything JavaScript related in London. Anyway, it was a great night, well attended – about 50 people, which was way more people than was expected at the time.
Three years later and there is no doubt that JavaScript warrants a larger venue and a bigger crowd. I’m delighted to be heading to Arlington, VA for JSConf 2009 — I go to quite a few conferences. Some I’m resigned to attending, others I’m indifferent about, and there are a few I’m really excited about – this is one of them.
The JavaScript world seems to be in this insanely interesting place at the moment, where new things are coming along every day to be excited about. I’m sure with the lineup of speakers that the organizers have managed to put together I won’t be disappointed.
But that’s not all! There’s more! If you’re around on Saturday night Joyent have clubbed together with our friends at Sun (err, Oracle?) to throw a bit of a bash to end the conference with a bang at the Fly Lounge!
