by Cal Evans |  2 comments | March 12, 2010

Speaker: Boy Baukema

Like PHP, JavaScript is easy to learn but hard to master.

In this talk these and more comparisons will be drawn between the two languages. The main weaknesses and strengths of JavaScript will be discussed and compared to PHP.

Examples will be given of closures and lambda functions in JavaScript and they will be compared to the implementation of these same features in the upcoming PHP 5.3. And through comparison the speaker will demonstrate that the two languages are quite similar.
