A diabolical herd of pigs stole all of the front-end architecture from an innocent flock of birds and now they want it back! A team of special agent hero birds will attack these despicable pigs until they recover what is rightfully theirs,
front-end architecture!
Join us for a free hands-on webcast presented by Elijah Manor (@elijahmanor) as Angry Birds uncover concepts of modern _javascript_ development. Each bird represents an area of _javascript_ along with its strengths.
The goal is to defeat the pigs and by doing so produce highly tested quality _javascript_ code. Don't miss this informative hands-on presentation from the comfort of your computer chair!
