Keynote: Seven Things to Do to Make You a Happier JavaScript Developer
Whether you like it or not, JavaScript is here to stay and has evolved from a fringe programming language to the most used one in our market. Its versatility both in use and in dealing with syntax are reasons why that is the case and why some people have a hard time getting their head around it.In this keynote you'll learn a few tricks and ideas how you can cast aside your dislikes and worries and find a way to embrace the wild world of JavaScript. You don't need to love it, but there is a big danger in JavaScript written by people who don't appreciate its power. We want to create happy users. Therefore we need to have happy developers.
