Brian Holt is presently the redditgifts front-end developer at reddit. This essentially means he gets paid to use JavaScript, CSS, and HTML to help you connect to the world around you, gain deep and meaningful insight, and look at cat pictures for hours.
When not saving the world one line of JavaScript at time, Brian loves to ski, mountain bike, run, and hang out with his wife and Havanese puppy. Brian is currently a resident of Salt Lake City, UT.
Over the past year the rise of the MV* has been meteoric. It seems you cannot go more than a few sentences discussing JavaScript without mentioning Angular or Ember. It also is certainly not without merit: JavaScript can greatly increase your productivity in client side code.
Come join Brian Holt as he gives a fitting treatise to each of the four frameworks and help you understand which one is best suited to you and your next big project.
What's Included
When
Where
We've already held over 20 workshops holding over 1000 attendees. In this time we've discovered ways to schedule the day so it goes smoothly and efficiently.
Regardless if you're in-person or participating with us online you'll have the full ability to replay things you missed, get your questions answered LIVE and interact with the teacher throughout the day.
How you'll spend the day:
We'll lead off by discussing why MV* have come about and why they've caught on like wildfire in the JS community. For those not familiar with the MV* paradigm, we'll have a brief discussion of what separation of concerns means and why this abstraction is useful.
As someone who has to make a decision for a company about which framework to use, Brian knows how hard it is to feel like you're making an informed decision. In the end, he didn't make an informed decision and ended up making it based on arbitrary criteria. This workshop is deliberately made so that others do not have to make this decision as Brian did.

|---|---|
| 9:00 | Intro to JavaScript MV* and the overall different approaches of the four frameworks |

If you are looking to master these frameworks or you already know all of them fairly well, this class isn't really going to help. This class is essentially four introduction-to classes rolled up into one with some editorial added in. We will also not be discussing testing a whole lot other than a brief touch on each one.
This workshop assumes an intermediate-or-above knowledge of JavaScript. We'll be discussing the frameworks, not the language or syntax of JS. Experience in MVC of any sort (be it server-side like Rails or django) or one of these frameworks is helpful but not required.
You will not walk away from this workshop being able to code proficiently in all four of these frameworks. Rather, this workshop will help you make an informed decision on which of these frameworks is worth pursuing for you. You will know many of the nuances, highlights, and pitfalls of each framework and hopefully which one feels the best suited to your task.
Our attendees are ecstatic by the high-quality, relevant content they receive at these workshops.
We cover everything in explicit detail (and the things we miss are covered by answers to YOUR questions) from basic to advanced tactics you can start working with the very same day.
We don't want you to miss out on this opportunity because you've been to less-than-stellar workshops in the past. We promise you, ours are very unique.
That's why if you attend the workshop and aren't absolutely thrilled with the content… if you don't think it's worth the admission price… We refuse to accept your money. We will more than gladly issue you a full refund, so you risk nothing.
We're very specific about exactly what you're getting here… so we rarely have requests for refunds.

"Superb presentation from a genuine domain expert. I learned a ton today."
"Keep up the good work. I've attended a lot of online workshops, and they are very shallow and unpractical. Most of the time, online people are treated as second class, but still paying citizens. Here we get all the content and get to participate as well (if only there was a way to get those cookies...)."
"The class was great. It was really cool to get a bunch of links to example code to look at during the presentation and after the class."
"Good location and facility. Great technology for capture, presentation layout and video streaming. Really excellent being able to view the videos afterwards. It takes away the sense of having to absorb everything immediately or else lose it into the ether. It was fun. What more can you ask for?"
"Really well run...loved the communication pre-event. Very impressed with everything...this was my first online conference purchase, but I would definitely consider doing it again."
"I really enjoyed the online workshop experience. It is much better than just watching videos. I was able to participate in the conversations and benefit from other folks' questions."
"You guys did a really great job! I cannot say enough good things about the experience."
"Everything was first class: excellent instructor, material, video, moderator, audio. Thank you!"
