Get a grip on JavaScript with Allen’s in-depth session tackling everything from the basics to objects and scopes of this familiar yet elusive language.

Allen’s session will quickly cover the basic syntax of JavaScript that most PHP developers are familiar with, and then jump into objects and scope – something more confounding in JavaScript than in most languages. You’ll cover functions in JavaScript, their first-class nature and the power of closures before diving into the “gotchas” of the language such as global variables, semicolon insertion, fuzzy equality, and how JSLint can help you avoid them.

Blurb About the Speaker:

Allen has been writing entire apps in JavaScript since 2008 and runs the VanJS meetup group – one of the largest JavaScript meetups in the world. Before founding Steam Clock Software, Allen worked for Apple as a Software Engineer.
