About Us
The world of JavaScript has moved beyond the browser.
Node.js has taken server-side application developers by storm and helped to blur the line between website and web application. Windows 8 is the first major operating system to make JS a first-class citizen when developing native applications. Mozilla is pushing the boundaries of mobile with Firefox OS, a mobile OS that is fully powered by the web.
CascadiaJS is bringing together these topics and more in order to survey where JS is today and where it is going tomorrow.
