elfsI had a good evening hanging out with the Web Development folks in Seattle. The beer at Pike Brewery is damn good, and the conversation was wonderful.
My experience was vaguely familiar: I did more teaching than learning. I did learn about the hashbang debate (a problem very near to me, as I'm developing a potential hashbang site), and someone put in a very good word for DotNetNuke, but mostly we discussed headless testing, the differences between Django, Rails, and Catalyst, the invention of Node, the importance of Promises in jQuery 1.5, and the blessings of Backbone. Oh, and I got a strong recommendation to use jQuery Mobile instead of Zepto, on the assumption that jQuery was the One True Library.
On the way home, I stopped and bought some fruit and yogurt. The machine gave me a coupon for candy bars. Yeah, that's brilliant.
