Great Information Gleaned From Sessions I Attended
My favorite session of the day was Eric Meyer’s “JavaScript Will Save Us All”. He had some really great links in the presentation to a lot of different frameworks and I thought I would share them with you all:

JQueryUI and JSBin I also attended Richard Worth’s JQueryUI: Hands On session. I didn’t even know that JQueryUI existed – I am very excited to try it out! Here are some related links that I found beneficial from his session:
