JavaScript is a programming language getting new attention here in NYC. Not because its new, it's not; not because a new version is coming out, there is; but because people are discovering what can be done with the JavaScript that has been around since 1995.
So, at the first NYC JavaScript Meetup, which took place last night at the BlankSlate office in lower Manhattan, there were two terrific speakers who shed some light on what's happening with ye olde JavaScript. For details take a look at Great Start for NYC JavaScript Meetup.
Hopefully getting people together -- and promoting people like Ning Zhou, Michael Girouard, and Geir Magnusson -- will cause even more developers to discover what Michael Girouard calls the "Beauty of JavaScript".
