Come one, come all!
jQuery Conference is back and it's better than ever! We're headed to Portland for the first time, but we're back with two tracks, 31 talks, and something for everyone! We know that jQuery users run the gamut from newcomers to experts, but that everyone relishes the opportunity to level up with new tools and techniques. That's why we've gathered some of the best minds in the industry to discuss jQuery – and a whole lot more. The only thing missing is you!

Since then, he's produced and tracked many A/B tests both when managing and engineering web application projects. In his spare time, he likes to impart the values and tradition of our culture of Geekery to his two children, who often take the reins as Dungeon Master and young scientists.
