SproutCore at Velocity Fall 09

Just a reminder - I will be talking about some of the new loading techniques we are working on for SproutCore 1.1 at Velocity Only Fall next Tuesday, Dec 8.
The conference is online - which means you can attend from your own desk. Why travel when you know you’d just spend the time hacking on your laptop anyway. Hack and listen from the comfort of your own desk!
If you’re interested in attending (all the other talks are great too) you can get a 25% discount using the code velfall09sdc
#sproutcore on IRC
The IRC channel has been really active lately on #sproutcore. SproutCore is used in enough places now that there is usually a real expert with a lot of experience available to talk to you these days.
If you need some help or just want to introduce yourself, drop on by!

> One tricky thing about Closure is that you can’t look at all of the widgets and packages equally
Dion Almaer sums my feelings also on Closure. As with all libraries, parts of closure are well baked, other’s aren’t. I’m glad Google is sharing.
JavaScript over the long run needs to become more like Ruby or Python - there are hundreds of libraries that each do one specific thing really well. Developers mix and match all the time, to get whatever happens to work best on their particular app.
This is why I think a module system like CommonJS is important. It is also why we have continued to refactor SproutCore into smaller pieces that can be used on their own.
Now that we have learned how to build fast, large scale apps, we need to make these advances available in a way that you can adopt piecemeal as your app evolves.
