Last week Codebits 2010 was held, once again, in Lisbon. As usual, this event/fest/party/hackathon was full of awesome. I'm not going to review it deeply, just search for #codebits2010 in Twitter, in order to get a gist of what happened there during those 3 days.
I gave a talk at the event, on one of my (serious) hobbies, Javascript, entitled Human-powered Javascript Compression for Fun and Gummy Bears. Basically, the talk centred on bending Javascript to your will, knowing what to do with this extremely plastic language, and also what not to do. And, if you didn't attend the talk, you will feel extremely unlucky, since I distributed 2 packs of gummy bears for the audience. Please find below the slides:
Furthermore, since the talk was so much focused as a hands-on experience on tweaking and pushing Javascript around, I made available all the code (HTML+JS) for free at github. Explore it, clone it, change it, experiment.
As a bonus side, I participated in the coding contest, where we developed a multiplayer game development kit for iOS. We were extremely fortunate to finish at 4th place. Stay tuned for more developments on this front, too.
