What's in a name?
"JavaScript"
• The language built into web browsers themselves
• JavaScript exploding in popularity, including JavaScript on the server
• The predominate language used to created web applications today
...but...
Tomorrow may be different
We don't know what technologies or languages will be used
to build web applications tomorrow, a year from now, or five years from now.
Loosely couple to JavaScript
We'll talk a *lot* about "JavaScript", but "Web Applications"
is the bigger category we're swimming in.
Some goals
• Facilitate regular and consistent meeting times
• Provide a platform to share knowledge and resources with each other
• Help put Sacramento on the map, statewide and nationwide,
for Web Application development
• Presentations
Ok, let's do this!
