JSConf2009 Wrapup (michaelharrison.ws)

JSConf was ridiculously good. I say that as someone who goes to a lot of conferences. Also I met a bunch of folks from HN, and that's never bad.

Anyone who is serious about JavaScript, or their career as whole in web-related technologies, should go ahead and save money for next year's event. It was simply blinding how many bright minds were in one room...

Cool writeup. Plan to make it to the next one.

Classic :)

Having been to a bunch of conferences in the past two years, this conference was second only to RubyFringe in terms of sheer awesomeness. JSConf scores extra points for showcasing so many different new and ridiculously nifty technologies in one place.

JSConf was a blast.I walked away with the feeling that JavaScript was going somewhere beyond the web. With Canvas, Server Side, DBs, etc it feels like JavaScript is slowly and irresistibly going to take over everything.

"Third, WebKit gets the prize for our favorite JS engine (not surprising with all the Cocoa love being shown)"

Why? WebKit doesn't have much to do with cocoa.

I've been to so many conferences and trade shows that I've long ago lost count. JSConf2009 was, without a doubt, the best organized, best agenda, best venue (for the conference), best speakers, best spouse program, . . . I don't know where to stop.

Just the absolute best.

I don't know about you all, but I am looking forward to JSConf 2010. I can't wait for those crazy organizers to put out the videos!

Excellent summary and commentary for the rest of us who weren't there. Thanks so much for posting it.

i was actually kinda bummed out to work with some CSS today, forcing me to come off my javascript/JSConf high.

pretty plz let there be one next year.
