JavaScript Libraries: Prototype and jQuery

Refresh Events is proud to present Cameron Westland (bigbangtechnology.com) and Eugene Andruszczenko (32teeth.org) for our first event of 2009. The topic of the evening will be an analysis of Prototype and jQuery, two increasingly popular JavaScript frameworks. Cameron and Eugene will perform deep-dives into Prototype and jQuery (respectively) and examine the benefits and drawbacks of using each language. The goal is not to see which one emerges as the “better language”, but instead to promote the concept of the right tool for the job.
