Show HN: JavascriptU, workshops on modern JavaScript patterns & libraries (javascriptu.org)
14 points by mediamaker 5189 days ago
You're invited to learn with us. From the basics to the advanced, from jQuery to backbone, from the DOM to whatever you choose. Anything is fair game and you call the shots. The course topics alter based on the votes of the attendees. You literally learn what you come here to learn. We're starting in San Diego and encourage others to hold JavascriptU workshops everywhere.

What's the difference between this and the sandiego.js meetups?

Also, it would be nice if the times for the workshops were on the first page. Thanks!

San Diego JS is a presentation based meetup and we found that a lot of attendees were also interested in classes where they could work on actual code while having the ability to get advice and ask questions.

JSU is not intended to compete, but to fill that need without causing confusion as to what SDJS is. Using a separate, geography-agnostic name also allows us to expand the concept to other cities if anyone is so motivated.
