Near Infinity is proud to announce that Chris Williams will debut his new JavaScript Boot Camp classes here at the Near Infinity Training Center February 10th and 11th. The JS Boot Camp is designed to take developers from being interested in JavaScript to proficiency in just two days.
JS is the scripting language that powers the web and increasingly it
is becoming critical for many tasks outside of the browser.
Unfortunately, many people, possibly you, are not yet proficient in
this highly usable and very important programming language. Maybe you
have dabbled with a JS library like jQuery or Prototype, but you now
want to understand what is going on and why. Perhaps you program
Python, Ruby, PHP, Perl or another language and making your
application rich and interactive on the web has you befuddled. Perhaps
you are a program manager and you want your design and development teams
to communicate better with one another Whatever the reason, now is the
perfect time to learn JS properly and this is the class for you. As Chris puts it, "if you need to ask whether you should take this class or not", you probably should.
The JS Boot Camp will be taught by Chris Williams, the originator the popular JSConf JavaScript conference, the first real JavaScript conference. Chris is also the producer of A Minute With Brendan and JSConfLive.

It's strengths lie in fast, distributed control of source code for teams from one to thousands. The real power of Git comes when you move beyond simply "doing what you used to do in SVN, just with Git." It's more than just commits and clones. In this advanced session you'll explore topics like:
- Managing and merging multiple branches
- Workflow best practices (rebasing, merging, etc)
- Finding issues with bisect and blame
- Hooks
- Submodules
- Customizing
This class will be taught by Scott Chacon, chief Git evangelist at GitHub, creator of GitCasts, and author of Pro Git (Apress) and Git Internals (Peepcode). Don't miss this chance to learn Git from a true expert.
