Dr ScriptLove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love JavaScriptThursday, February 22, 2012 at 7:00 PM

JavaScript: the name alone instills loathing and dread into the hearts of developers. The language, which is neither Java nor script, used to be safely confined to the browser, as a tool of last resort.
Then something happened: like a horror film, JavaScript started appear everywhere -- even on the server!
Despite numerous attempts to crush the language, it has grown and thrived. Love or hate it, JavaScript is a fact of life for developers in the 2010s.
This presentation is about one die-hard Silverlight/C# developer's savage journey into the heart of JavaScript and how he came to realize: it's not that bad after all.
