Simon St. Laurent and I have been discussing that exciting upcoming conference, DHTMLConf.
Party like golden sparkles following the mouse cursor is cool again!
If you’re going to JSFest, how can you not go to DHTMLConf? This is a conference celebrating a time when all of the technologies we take so seriously now, were fun!
Simon is going, and is taking along a copy of his old Dynamic HTML book he managed to find. That made me dig around online for anything on my old books, including my Dynamic HTML book (1998), as well as my earlier (1996) JavaScript How-To.
I had to laugh when I saw the marketing blurb attached to the JavaScript How-To book at Amazon:
JavaScript is the ultimate in web eye-candy. It is not a real programming language such as Java, and it isn’t really essential for web site development, but it sure is a lot of fun for tinkerers.
