I am back from Webtech Conference Italia 2010. One of the first in Italy featuring a full javascript day with six talks. Not counting javascript related talks in other tracks. It has been exciting to see javascript explained in patterns, historically and computationally analyzed, tuned for faster websites, organized in popular libraries, used to query modern databases, to extract data from the web, to mashup those data, to program mobile devices, improved in latest browsers and at last on the server side to build scalable, fast network applications.
We’re witnessing the exponential rise of a neglected little broken language. A language that obviously started with something very right and grew up even better.
A language that is finally gonna get A LOT of love.
P.S. Here are my talks:
update: now i am linking to the updated version of javascript the new parts given at Javascript Day 2011.
