Note: This site is currently "Under construction". I'm migrating to a new version of my site building software. Lots of things are in a state of disrepair as a result (for example, footnote links aren't working). It's all part of the process of building in public. Most things should still be readable though.

Brendan Eich Ward Cunningham and Me

There are two languages that make web pages work - HTML and JavaScript. While attending the O'Reilly Fluent Conference^1^^, I had the pleasure of meeting Brendan Eich^2^^. He's the creator of JavaScript.

*Unfortunately, I was experimenting with the settings on my camera and borked this shot a little. Alas... such is life.*

I also met Ward Cunningham^3^^. AKA the guy who created the first wiki, the forerunning of Wikipedia.

I feel smarter just for being in their proximity.

*Footnotes*

1. Fluent 2012: JavaScript and Beyond - The conference was very well done. Congrats to O'Reilly for putting on a good show. 2. Brendan Eich - Creator of JavaScript. Currently the CTO at Mozilla. My job would be boring without the language he created. 3.Ward Cunningham's Wikipedia Page. Not at all surprising that they guy who created Wiki's has his own WikiPedia page.
