Training Details

Bocoup is a leading open web development company focused on researching and implementing next-generation browser technologies. The Bocoup team has contributed to the jQuery project on several infrastructure projects and is responsible for creating and maintaining numerous open source JavaScript and jQuery plugins.

Attendees should bring a laptop with WiFi and a power cord, ready with a code editor and and browser. We strongly recommend the Google Chrome browser, although the latest Firefox (with the Firebug extension installed) will work in a pinch.

We also recommend one of the following text editors for Mac: TextMate, MacVim, Coda, Sublime Text 2; or Windows: E TextEditor, Notepad++, UltraEdit, but the most important thing is that attendees use a text editor they're comfortable with.

Speakers

Please submit a proposal for the San Francisco jQuery Conference. We're totally getting on this inverted call for speakers train (thanks, JSConf!), so you can submit your own talk idea, or if there's someone else you'd really like to hear speak (about something in particular), go ahead and submit them!

Even if your dream speaker doesn't end up making it, this is a great way for you to let us know what subject matter you're really interested in hearing about in June. The call for speakers ends May 13, 2012. Be sure to get your submissions in before then!

Lodging

Since our event isn't hosted at a hotel's conference center this year, there is no specific hotel (or hotel with special conference rates) to stay at. We recommend staying in the Union Square / Downtown area because it's easy to take MUNI to the conference from any of the Market Street subway stations. Here are some hotels in that area:
