The Baltimore/DC JavaScript Users Group

Meet other local JavaScripters to share knowledge, to review the state of the art, or to dream up new applications.Our primary focus is on usage of the many libraries available to aid in JavaScript development, including ExtJS, YUI, jQuery, Dojo, Script.aculo.us, MooTools, etc. Since most of the members are users of the ExtJS library, many topics will revolve around its usage.

Events coming up

We don't have any upcoming events for this user group. Do you know this group? If so, why not submit a future event? We also support iCal, EventBrite and Meetup feeds.
