The video from my talk at JSConf has been posted. Thanks to Chris for organizing the conference and the excellent quality of the video.
The description from the JSConf site summarizes the talk well:
John Resig presents his mystery topic, which is actually three topics that strike his interest. First up is measuring performance and a quick introduction to benchmarking (and its positives and negatives). This is followed by JavaScript Games which he unveils some super cool hidden functionality (cheat codes++) on the jQuery web site. This is followed up by the introduction of John's distributed continuous test framework platform, Test Swarm. It is jam packed with Nirvana and goodness so be sure to watch both parts.
Yesterday I gave a presentation for the local ACM of Northeastern University. I covered the basics of JavaScript - targeted to a Computer Science major (in the case of the students at NU, they learn Scheme and Java so I emphasized the subject matter to that audience). I did a fast run-through of the whole language, covering the main points, and move on to a quick inspection of jQuery and the DOM - closing with some Q&A. The subject matter of JavaScript 2 (and 1.6-1.8) came up a couple times so discussion of that was interspersed throughout. There were a bunch of jQuery users in the audience and it was great to get to hear their feedback.
I'm going to be here Monday and Tuesday, for the tutorial days. I'll be wearing a Firefox/Mozilla shirt and will be generally promoting JavaScript and the Open Web.
Incidentally, I'll be attending some pretty-cool tutorials:
It's nice, I'm rather server-side-language agnostic now, so I'm happily checking into lots of programming languages. I'm especially looking forward to the Haskell talk, and the upcoming Real World Haskell.
And on Friday I'll be on an Ajax Futures Panel with Bill Scott and Douglas Crockford, which should be good fun.
There's going to be a number of jQuery users, and a few members of the jQuery core team, in attendance so we're going to be having a SF jQuery Meetup. If you're in the area, I hope to be able to meet you there!
