Fluent 2012: JavaScript Evolves

"The big change started when Google launched Maps. All of a sudden, there was this highly interactive, highly usable, fun-to-play-with web interface. It just blew away almost every other map provider's offering, and it was all constructed in JavaScript. Everyone sat up and took notice." — James Duncan, O'Reilly Radar

When nobody was looking, JavaScript evolved from humble beginnings to an important and full-fledged development language. Today JavaScript is everywhere, from websites and mobile apps to desktop apps, databases, and new cloud technologies. It's a widely used, sophisticated, capable, and powerful development tool.

The O'Reilly Fluent Conference is about everything JavaScript. If you're developing for the Web, desktop, or mobile, knowing the ins and outs of JavaScript and related technologies is critical. Come to Fluent to learn from expert developers who are using JavaScript in all kinds of contexts, to do things that no one ever expected JavaScript could do, and do so well.
