First Birthday Show n' Tell
Happy Birthday to us! Happy Birthday to us!
Yes, Async is now one year old - and what a year it's been. Ever since Simon Willison's inspirational first session on server-side JavaScript, we've kept up the pace with twice monthly talks on some of the hottest topics in modern web development. A brand new community of developers has been born.
Today, we celebrate our birthday with the ever-popular Show n' Tell. Come and show us what you've been up to in the land of JavaScript (/HTML5/CSS3...); interesting little projects, clever uses of a technique, or insightful websites and apps you've stumbled across that have changed your thinking on the ways of the web.
Sessions are 5 minutes + 5 minutes for questions. You can see our previous Show n' Tells here, here and here.
Please let us know if (and what) you'd like to share with us. Don't be shy... all are very welcome.
