Hi, I'm Thomas Fuchs. I'm the author of the script.aculo.us user interface JavaScript library, a member of the Prototype core team and a Ruby on Rails core alumnus. You're using my work every day, even if you're not aware of it (sounds creepy, I know!). Need JS foo? Hire me.

Secrets of JavaScript Libraries

February 27th, 2008 by Thomas Fuchs, 2 comments »

Meet John Resig, Sam Stephenson, Andrew Dupont, Alex Russell and me at the Secrets of JavaScript Libraries panel at south by southwest interactive in Austin, TX on March 11!

This talk will delve into the secret techniques used by JavaScript library authors to create comprehensive libraries that work seamlessly across browser environments. We’ll look at everything from fixes for strange browser quirks, tricks for gaining speed, to tips for writing smooth animations. This panel will be held by experienced JavaScript Library developers who have, cumulatively, many decades of JavaScript development experience under their belts. Everything discussed will be backed up with publicly available, rock-solid, code.

Sounds good? Meet you there! Also, don’t miss Dabble Dabble, Toil and Kick Ass
