If you're enjoying the #cjs19 live stream, you can thank @heroku! They are making it possible for us to share the conference with our *entire* community. They are also put together a killer list of resources for getting started building JS apps! 2019.cascadiajs.com/getting-โ€ฆ

Yes. Yes I do. Sept 27, 2012. My very first external technical presentation was at a @vanjs meetup, which turned out to be in front sizeable crowd in a theater (I remember 100s of people, it felt like1000s. @apike and @jasonsanjose were there and may recall).
Do you have any scary/funny public speaking stories you'd like to share w/ students getting started with giving tech talks? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ™ˆ I'd love to include them in a public speaking course I'm creating! Would love to show examples of tech demos gone haywire, strange audience Qs, etc.

After 10 years, @apike has passed the torch of organizing VanJS to Shawn McKay (@Sh_McK) and the broader community of folks who have stepped via our GitHub repo to propose talks and coordinate new events. Here's to many more years of community. ๐ŸŒŸ
