I loved the message conveyed in the talk, as it addresses a lot of my concerns about JavaScript's exposure to new developers - my primary one being the Google search results. My only real hangup was with Chris' presentation style and tone; it was almost a complete turn-off for me. JavaScript needs more enthusiastic evangelists like Christian Heilmann, not its own Martin Luther King Jr. JavaScript is not oppressed. It just isn't well represented.
- janl 16y agoThis is obviously not clear from the video, but in the context of the conference, this worked pretty well. The other talks we had were fun and energetic (just wait until we get to release Jed Schmidt's talk on Fab.js). Chris's talk was the closing keynote and using the presidential speech style worked very well; sadly that context is lost with the standalone video.
- collypops 16y agoIt makes much more sense now! Thanks Jan. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the released content. Events like this are really important, and it's a shame that we can't all make it out to all of them.
