Free Session: In-the-Brain of Dave Crane on JavaScript as a Disruptive Language January 31, 2008

Join Dave Crane, author of Ajax in Action and well known expert in the field of DHTML and Ajax development for this Skills Matter In-the-Brain Session on JavaScript.

Ajax, as a disruptive technology, has re-invigorated the world of web development in the last 2-3 years. The changes brought about by Web 2.0 span business, technological and social factors, but a significant part of it rests with the ways programmers choose to express themselves in code too. Join Dave as he looks at the synergistic rise of Ajax and Functional JavaScript, discuss the merits of OO and Functional programming styles, and show how working with something as mundane and useful as Ajax can serve as a gentle introduction to this powerful (and scary) programming style.
