the life of a web developer » Javascript http://gavtaylor.co.uk/blog Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:30:56 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 WDC2011 is approaching http://gavtaylor.co.uk/blog/wdc2011-is-approaching http://gavtaylor.co.uk/blog/wdc2011-is-approaching#comments Tue, 06 Sep 2011 11:25:42 +0000 Gavin http://gavtaylor.co.uk/blog/?p=600 October is defiantly conference season for me, with the PHPNW conference at the start of the month and now WDC towards the end.

The Web Developers Conference is aimed at both professionals and students, and focuses on the front end side of web development.

The schedule has now been released, and the speakers have been known for a while, there are a couple of well-known speakers that will be there so I’m really looking forward to this and hopefully learning a few things front end related , as a PHP developer that’s where my skills aren’t so strong.

Tickets are still available at a very reasonable £50 for the days festivities, and will be entering a Late Bird stage at the start of October, so get your tickets now to avoid disappointment if they sell out or go past your budget! Various discount codes are floating around on Twitter if you need one, or just ask one of the speakers if you’re struggling.

You can find out more information on the conference website http://webdevconf.com/

Its about a new DOM function, part of the Web Storage specification, that allows you to store data on a users local system.
