Lightning talk 4:Ruby Poetry
As is now traditional, we devote the February London Ruby User Group meeting to lightning talks. Not just any old lightning talks either, we use the 20x20 format for the talks. Each speaker has 20 slides that auto-transition after 20 seconds, giving them a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds in which to get their point across.

The fourth talk comes from Andrew McDonough on Ruby Poetry

Peter Lubbers' HTML5 WebSocket and Communication

Peter Lubbers' HTML5 WebSocket and Communication is a highly practical two day course that will teach you how to use HTML5 WebSocket and HTML5 Communication to build real-time web applications. The course covers the use of HTML5 WebSocket, Server-Sent Events, Cross-Document Messaging, and XMLHttpRequest Level 2. This course focuses on how to create next generation HTML5 web applications. With these new standards, the browser can now enjoy the first-class citizenry of network communication that has long been enjoyed exclusively by desktop client/server applications. You will learn how to use the emerging standards to build scalable, mission critical real-time Web 2.0 applications. To find out about learning objectives, dates and how to get some tickets, go here

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).

Peter Lubbers' HTML5 “Fast Track”

In this HTML5 “Fast Track” training course, you will learn how to create HTML5 web pages and web applications using HTML5 markup and HTML5 JavaScript APIs.HTML5 is the next major milestone in HTML and it is not just another incremental enhancement; it represents an enormous advance for modern web applications. HTML5 is such a big step forward that it prompted Vic Gundotra, VP of Engineering at Google, to say “The web has not seen this level of transformation, this level of acceleration, in the past ten years… we're betting big on HTML5.” A large number of features are already supported in browsers, so it is time to start using it!
