July 14, 2012 by Stephanie SUTANTO
The first JavaScript web and mobile conference in Southeast Asia will open its gates on November 29th and 30th – hosting web-changing talks, workshops and sprints for the developer community. The conference, JSCamp.Asia, focuses on JavaScript, recognizing its importance as a versatile language for web development.
The conference aims to spark an interest about Javascript within the Southeast Asia region, by hosting 22 local and international speakers, a mix of renown experts from a wide range of companies including Twitter, Mozilla, and newcomers, that will share their experience and ideas in 18 talks and 6 hands-on workshops over two days.
As Thomas Gorissen, organizer of JSCamp.Asia, explains, “As a former entrepreneur and now mentor at local startup incubator JFDI, I know how hard it is to find great talent in this space currently. I hope I can change that a bit.” In a way, the conference offers itself as a shout-out platform for developers created small or big open source projects themselves, preferably JavaScript projects.
The 18 talks attendees can expect from JSCamp.Asia range from building better apps with client-side data and building a Windows store game in HTML5, to Markup and Style without HTML and CSS. Attendees are also highly encouraged to attend the various workshops JSCamp.Asia has to offer, in which professional hosts will provide valuable guidance. This eclectic mix of workshops and talks are sure to highlight JavaScript as a versatile language with huge potential, while facilitating community bonding and personal engagement with industry experts.
JSCamp.Asia has also curated a growing list of events that participants may be interested in, with a dedicated calendar to boot.
Event Details:
Date: Thursday-Friday, 29th-30th November 2012
