I had the opportunity to present at Forward JS a few weeks ago on “different.js”. No, the presentation wasn’t about a new, shiny, artisinally-crafted micro-framework. I talked about how to “level up” at JavaScript by introducing artificial constraints which force you to approach things a different way. I worked through a specific example, abstaining from the use of this and prototypes in favor of closures.

Slides for the talk are here, video is below (thanks New Circle).
