---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Shrinivasan T <tshrinivasan@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 4:39 PM Subject: JSFoo is in Chennai To: ILUG-C <ilugc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> JSFoo is in Chennai this weekend. http://jsfoo.in/chennai2012 JSFoo is India's first JavaScript conference series. Two previous editions were held in Bangalore and Pune and featured local speakers covering a range of topics on building apps with JavaScript. In the last few years JavaScript has emerged as arguably the most important programming language for the modern era. It's wide-spread availability in web browsers, where it is also the only language available, combined with server-side technologies like Node.js makes it extremely influential. Node.js was written from the ground-up for modern cloud-hosted environments where concurrency and scale are key. These features are often sub-optimally addressed in older languages, since their libraries were written before concurrency became an important factor in web apps. Even on mobile, when developers try to minimize rewriting code when targeting multiple platforms, JavaScript is the most feasible option. It is available as a native language for all the major smartphone platforms: iOS, Android and Windows Phone. JSFoo is a one day conference on building full-size apps in JavaScript. We will have some of the country's best JS developers talking about the challenges of going the full distance with JS, doing everything in JS itself. Videos from all editions of JSFoo are available online, but the sessions are not the same each time. Chennai has all-new sessions.
