SXSW: Secrets of JavaScript Libraries

By  on  

I've not had the pleasure to go to South by South West but I've heard it's a great time for those in the tech industry. A few of the more popular names in the JavaScript community, representing prominent JavaScript libraries (Dojo, jQuery, and Prototype/script.aculo.us), recently presented at SXSW. The topic, of course, was JavaScript and centered around the secrets of JavaScript used in each library.

John was kind enough to post the presentation slides on his website and I've embedded them in my blog for you. John mentioned providing audio in the future, so bookmark his post and visit his blog in a few days.
