Just in time for me to do it all over again tonight at the Boston JavaScript Meetup. Well, not completely all over again as it’s a new presentation tonight, but it’ll still be two times at NERD this week.

Short Notice- I’m Presenting at the Boston JavaScript Meetup This Thursday, January 28, 2010

Check it out:

JavaScript 101: Using JavaScript to Add Interactivity to Your Web Site

Rob Larsen will lead an interactive session outlining the basic steps to getting started with using JavaScript using modern techniques. For the beginner it will serve as a road map to using JavaScript with confidence. For the more advanced user it will serve and a forum to discuss fundamental best practices as Rob will be soliciting feedback and discussion throughout.

It’ll be basically a step by step on getting JavaScript onto a page, in a modern, “best practices” way. Starting with attaching the script to the page using the script tag all the way through writing a function and attaching it to an element. Each step will be split into three levels of discussion:

  1. For the beginners each will simply be presented as “this is how you do it”
  2. For the intermediate user it will be “this is why we do it this way”
  3. For the advanced user it will be a question- “where does this fall apart and how can we make it better”

It should be fun. I hope to see you there.

Nothing groundbreaking. Just some atmosphere shots. The show was a lot of fun and it was great meeting everyone.
