Seattle, Washington 98195-2350
2:30pm: Join us Saturday afternoon for the close of UW Hack U! with live demos, hack judging (including a people's choice awared),and a special closing keynote by JavaScript guru Douglas Crockford at 3:30pm.
Doug Crockford's talk: JavaScript: The Good Parts
JavaScript is a language with more than its share of bad parts. It went from non-existence to global adoption in an alarmingly short period of time. It never had an interval in the lab when it could be tried out and polished. JavaScript has some extraordinarily good parts... This session will expose the goodness in JavaScript, an outstanding dynamic programming language. It will also preview some of the features of the next edition of the ECMAScript standard.
5:30 pm: PLEASE NOTE: Due to shifting travel schedules, the meetup scheduled here will take place on Thursday night at a nearby watering hole to be announced Thurs 2/19 after the talk. The first round is free from your friends at the YDN.
