Doughas Crockford is leading a masterclass at UCSF on the 30th. I don’t plan to attend, but if you’re relatively new to JS and want to got a solid understanding it might be worth your time. From the email from O’Reilly (note the discount code):

The all day “Master Class”, will be lead by JavaScript expert Douglas
Crockford who will scrape away the language’s bad features to reveal
all the good ideas that make JavaScript an outstanding object-oriented
programming language — ideas such as functions, loose typing, dynamic
objects, and an expressive object literal notation. You’ll learn why
this powerful feature subset is more reliable, readable, and
maintainable than the language as a whole, and discover firsthand how
to create extensible and efficient code with it. Based on his popular
O’Reilly book, JavaScript: The Good Parts, this class will
demonstrate how JavaScript can be a beautiful, elegant, lightweight,
and highly expressive language.

And if you and/or your readers are interested in attending, please
feel free to use and post the discount code “SPH25″ to recieve a 25%
discount.

At first I wasn’t going to post this because it feels a little spam-y, but ultimately I think it would be a good class for some people…
