jQuery4u’s Review!
- Not having to travel to the conference is a big bonus for those with low budgets and limited spare time.
- It’s a 2 day conference so you can either attend Day1 and/or Day2.
- It seems Day 1 focuses more towards Web Designers and Day to more towards Web Developers.
- The ability to login and watch the sessions again online is also a big bonus.
- To interact you don’t even need a webcam or mic you can ask questions directly via chat, and only the presenters appear on camera. So, webcams and mics are not necessary for attendance!
Why attend the jQuery Summit?
- Attending a conference online means no travel hassle!
- Bring the experts live to your desktop!
- Time spent on the road is better spent instead in the office or with family, friends!
- Sessions are developed to dive deeper into the material!
- Ask questions directly to the speakers!
- Can’t make it the day of the conference? Watch the recordings whenever you want!
