Brendan Dawes is a big-a-geek as anyone; he loves nothing more than making and experimenting with all the wondrous technologies, tools, toys and other magical things that constantly surround us. But the thing is, geeks never changed anything, well not in a real-world sense. Making cutting edge Javascript demos with the likes of Canvas or SVG are all well and good but for things to really change and have an impact stuff needs to move beyond the confines of the world of the geek and become common place, the norm and paradoxically, invisible!

In this session Brendan takes you through his process of experimentation with purpose and how he and the team at magneticNorth are now actively using these exciting new technolgies on real client work that goes beyond bouncing ball demoes to create new interfaces and new ways to explore.

  1. Jeremy Ashkenas: Coffeescript Design Decisions (Full Frontal Conference 2011)

    http://2011.full-frontal.org/schedule

    Although limited by what’s possible to express in simple JavaScript, CoffeeScript tries to provide pieces of clear syntax that fit together in harmony. We’ll dive into the rationale behind some of CoffeeScript’s language choices to look at the trade offs involved, and both the why’s and why not’s.

    http://2011.full-frontal.org/schedule

    The past few years have seen the rise and maturation of several full-blown in-browser code editors: CodeMirror, ACE (Cloud9), and Orion. No longer must we mortify users with huge, clunky text areas when they need to edit some CSS or script. This talk will go over the current state of JavaScript-based editors, and describe the implementation of CodeMirror in some depth.
