Less (css) is more. Slicker styling for the web.
CSS. The name illicits groans from the backend developer bench. Googling "css sucks" brings a back a wealth of comedy (and about 6,970,000 results). CSS. Cascading as in a neutron fission reaction. Style as in every project does it differently. Sheet as in... Less CSS is a javascript library which aims to tackle some of those "if I could just use a variable here...", "maybe if we generated the css from a jsp...", "why is there now more css than actual code?..." difficulties. In this session we'll take some existing stylesheets, tame them using less and integrate them with Grails.

Damjan Vujnovic's Advanced JavaScript Workshop

As Douglas Crockford once said, JavaScript is the world's most misunderstood programming language. It is also one of the world's most popular programming languages and one of the cornerstones of a modern web application development. With web clients becoming thicker and more complex, it is no longer easy to get away with sloppy, ad-hoc JavaScript programming style. In this advanced JavaScript hands-on course you will learn how to write good code (by employing its good features and avoiding quirks and common pitfalls).
