 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<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zhdolv67uqj0lf425mnr5trrc1mad62mvi45dp5g>)
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!
