[SGVLUG] SGVLUG Meeting on 11/8: JavaScript Sucks and So Do You

[Lan Dang via SGVLUG]

Reminder that we have an SGVLUG meeting at Du-Par's this Thursday.  It's about good coding practices for JavaScript.  Because we've all written terrible code.

 If you like these types of presentations which focus on coding or good software design, please chat with Michael Starch and Carlos Meza afterwards.  They've made noises about starting up a special interest group on this topic.

In addition, several of us are on the SCALE A/V team and ramping up on cool projects.  We are undertaking a major upgrade, so we could use help with software, hardware, and infrastructure automation.  With a large side of documentation.  Come talk to us in person to learn more.

I've updated the SGVLUG website with the meeting notice

But of course, if you're on Meetup, please RSVP there.

 Hi all,

We'll have a fun meeting next week.

TIME: Thursday, November 8th, from 7pm to 9pm
LOCATION:Du-Par's Restaurant and Bakery, 214 S Lake Ave, Pasadena, CATOPIC: JavaScript Sucks and So Do You
SPEAKER: Michael Starch, Engineer

TOPIC:
  JavaScript, like all computer languages, has its flaws. It at times subtly encourages programmers to commit unabsolvable crimes against the computing world. It drags new programmers into the abyss of bad practice with the madness of Lisp and the folly of QuickBasic. Together we shall journey into the darkness surrounding JavaScript and shine our light into it.

Attendees should expect to learn a bit about the downside to JavaScript and some of the bad practices that arise. We will then improve our JavaScript code by establishing good patterns using modern JavaScript and an understanding of software design principles. If nothing else attendees shall be thoroughly entertained, and all will rag on JavaScript just a wee bit.
BIO:
  Michael Starch in an Engineer. He has used JavaScript professionally for many years, and has committed every sin in JavaScript's tomb of Evil. He has often searched for order amongst the chaotic statements of JavaScript, and brings his methods for your consideration. He is by no means an authority on JavaScript, but he will step up and speak with authority anyway. You shall be entertained.

Lan
