Silicon Valley JavaScript Meetup - January 21, 2009

Silicon Valley JavaScript Meetup session from January 21, 2009, hosted at the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA.

Nicholas Zakas talks about the performance differences between local and global variables (cross variables.)

Davey Waterson talks about ActiveRecord.js, an open source JavaScript library that implements the ActiveRecord data persistence and querying pattern popularized by (though not invented by) the Ruby on Rails community.

Tom Robinson talks about server-side JavaScript using Jack and Roundabout.

Note:
The camera's battery died at 39:12, so there's a gap in the video there.

Nice presentation. Can you change camera angle, so that we can see code more clearly

The T-shirt with Che is nice - but the owner needs pretty much time to show some code

Cool? I'm getting a major in programming and I think these events are kind of lame! :p Actually I would probably attend one just to see what it's like, but it seems kind of dorky.

I really would like to go to some of the conventions they have were some of the owners/programmers of major websites like Google and Yahoo! come together and you can meet them. This event though seems more like a snore fest.
