ScotlandJS 2012

 

The javaScript Conference:

I really enjoyed speaking at the conference, it was fun. It was very well organised, every single detail was covered.

People showed a real interest on the topic, and we had a lot of questions afterwards.

The City:

I’ve never been to Edinburgh before, and I’d strongly recommend going and spending some time there. Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to discover the whole city but I would love to in the future.

The Location:

Scotland JS was at the Royal College of Physicians. It’s a great place and is a unique, historic venue located in the heart of Edinburgh.

    Definitely imagine that which you stated. Your favorite
    reason seemed to be on the internet the easiest factor to bear in mind of.
    I say to you, I certainly get irked while folks consider concerns that they plainly don’t recognise about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects ,
    other folks can take a signal. Will probably be again to get more.
    Thanks
