Adam Roderick – The JavaScript Revue: Frameworks and Patterns

Admit it. If it wasn't for jQuery plugins, you would still be hacking together JavaScript snippets from across the internets, in hopes that nobody came along later to discover your dirty little secret. That's nice and all, but it doesn't make you feel like a ""real"" JavaScript developer. Are there any patterns out there? When should we use dojo vs. jQuery vs. YUI? What are the other useful libraries? What about enterprise development--things like unit testing and automated builds?  JavaScript is heavily utilized by the new HTML 5 standard. The more you know about it, the better prepared you will be for the future of web development.  Come enjoy a Revue of JavaScript Frameworks and Patterns, and get your JavaScript development on!
