Workshop: "Fun with Functions"

Track: Fun with Functions / Time: Tuesday 09:45 - 17:30 / Location: Room 3

JavaScript is still the world's most misunderstood programming language. Most of the people writing in it do not know how to use functions effectively. This workshop will show you how. No previous JavaScript experience required, but some programming competence is a must.

Bring a laptop and a power adapter, with any text editor and any JavaScript engine. A web browser will do. We will spend the day writing functions.

Biography: Douglas Crockford

Douglas Crockford was born in the wilds of Minnesota, but left when he was only six months old because it was just too damn cold. He turned his back on a promising career in television when he discovered computers. He has worked in learning systems, small business systems, office automation, games, interactive music, multimedia, location-based entertainment, social systems, and programming languages.

He is the inventor of Tilton, the ugliest programming language that was not specifically designed to be an ugly programming language. He is best known for having discovered that there are good parts in JavaScript. This was an important and unexpected discovery. He discovered the JSON Data Interchange Format. He is currently working on making the web a secure and reliable software delivery platform. He has his work cut out for him.
