If you like these types of presentations which focus on coding or good software design, please chat with Michael and Carlos afterwards. They've made noises about starting up a special interest group on this topic.<br></div></div><div class="ydpc6f276cbyahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><span><span><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12155" dir="ltr"><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12156"><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12157"><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12257" dir="ltr"><br></div></div></div></div></span></span><span> <a href="https://www.meetup.com/SGVTech/events/zvpphlyxpblb/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.meetup.com/SGVTech/events/zvpphlyxpblb/</a><div><br></div><span><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12171" dir="ltr">---<br id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12172"></div><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12173" dir="ltr">TIME: Thursday, November 8th, from 7pm to 9pm<br id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12174"></div><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12175" dir="ltr"><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12176" dir="ltr"><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12177" dir="ltr">LOCATION:Du-Par's Restaurant and Bakery, 214 S Lake Ave, <span id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12178">Pasadena</span>, <span id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12179">CA</span></div></div></div></span><div><span><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12182" dir="ltr">TOPIC: JavaScript Sucks and So Do You<br>SPEAKER: Michael Starch, Engineer<br id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12183"></div></span></div><span></span><span><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12186" dir="ltr"><br id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12187"></div><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12188" dir="ltr">TOPIC:<br id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12189"></div> <span> <span>JavaScript, like all computer languages, has its flaws. It at times
subtly encourages programmers to commit unabsolvable crimes against the
computing world. It drags new programmers into the abyss of bad practice
with the madness of Lisp and the folly of QuickBasic. Together we shall
journey into the darkness surrounding JavaScript and shine our light
into it.<br><br>Attendees should expect to learn a bit about the
downside to JavaScript and some of the bad practices that arise. We will
then improve our JavaScript code by establishing good patterns using
modern JavaScript and an understanding of software design principles. If
nothing else attendees shall be thoroughly entertained, and all will
rag on JavaScript just a wee bit.</span></span><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12196"><br id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12197"></div><div id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12198" dir="ltr">BIO:<br id="ydp5931da1eyiv9726270721ydp2eeac06eyiv6566734398yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1502090552807_12199"></div></span></span><div><span> <span> <span>Michael Starch in an Engineer. He has used JavaScript professionally for
many years, and has committed every sin in JavaScript's tomb of Evil.
He has often searched for order amongst the chaotic statements of
JavaScript, and brings his methods for your consideration. He is by no
means an authority on JavaScript, but he will step up and speak with
authority anyway. You shall be entertained.</span><br></span></span><span><span></span></span><div><br>Lan<br></div></div></div></body></html>
