I’m doing a presentation at the Center for Digital Imaging Arts at Boston University. I’m doing the JavaScript Library Comparisons presentation I did in May once again. I’m going to tweak it a little bit to skew towards more beginners.

Should be fun. Hope to see some of you there.

I’m hoping I can get it filmed so I can put it on the Internet for all to see. We’ll see how that goes.

Calling all designers, developers and anyone with a desire to learn about working with JavaScript – join us at CDIA for a fascinating talk with Rob Larsen!

TUESDAY, JULY 14: ROB LARSEN TALK

6:30pm Rob Larsen, Principal Presentation Engineer at Cramer, will demonstrate the differences between coding a single task in raw JavaScript and several popular JavaScript libraries. Comparing metrics like the amount of code written, the size of the codebase, execution time as well as more subject factors like “fun factor” and quality of documentation, Rob will shed some light on the differences between the pure JavaScript API and four of the most popular libraries- Dojo, jQuery, Prototype/Scriptaculous and YUI.
