Amy and I will do talks at JSConf.eu, the European JavaScript Conference, which will be held in Berlin on November 7 & 8. I’m really excited to be a part of this and to see that there is a JavaScript community forming in Europe!
My talk will be on Extreme JavaScript Performance and Amy will show you how to think outside the box and do a Hard Refresh: Not Just Another Lightbox.
Other speakers include John Resig of jQuery and Dion Almaer and Ben Galbraith from Ajaxian/Mozilla!
We hear that tickets are selling fast, and because it’s just €249 for the early bird ticket I wouldn’t think twice of attending. 🙂

Amy and I are going to teach our JavaScript Master Class on September 12, 2009 in Washington D.C.
If you’re at the intermediate or advanced level in your JavaScript practice, now’s the best time to level up to expert with our JavaScript Master Class:
- Laugh along as you learn how to wield sharp-edged, higher-order language features like a pro, and make the DOM your slave to do your bidding.
- Study the enemy—the browser—in detail, so you know best how to conquer it.
- Ensure accuracy, no matter the changes in terrain, with unit testing.
- Master the art of speed—squeezing out every last precious second, both serving your code, and executing it.
- Study the ways of the masters with project life cycles, code management, architecture, and tools.
We’re talking JavaScript here, not frameworks, so all the goodness is applicable to whatever JavaScript framework you use!
A full day of JavaScript goodness, early bird special until August 26th: just $380 (that’s $45 of the regular price!). All participants also get a free copy of JavaScript Performance Rocks! and we’ll go for beers afterwards!

Here’s a little tip that makes the Safari Web Inspector even better (and saves you from remembering the keyboard shortcut!).
Select View → Customize Toolbar… and drag the Web Inspector button to your Safari toolbar (on my Safari the button lives on the far right, next to the search box).
Instant inspecting and debugging goodness!
