Focus on Aaron Gustafson
With a book on Javascript due out soon, Aaron Gustafson has been one of the quiet achievers of the web industry these last few years. A wonderful educator (his workshop with Andy Clarke at Web Directions North earlier this year was very well attended and received), Aaron has been speaking all over the place, and has upcoming gigs at a wide variety of web focussed conferences such as An Event Apart and the Rich Web Experience.
Best of all, Aaron is not only speaking at Web Direction South, he’s running a whole day workshop designed to get you up to speed with Javascript. If you’ve played around with Javascript, or even if you are pretty proficient (I can do a lot with Javascript, but would really love to have the time to take this workshop, I think it would really help deepen my javascripting), then do think about adding on this workshop, which is the day before Web Directions South. Best of all, if you are coming to the conference, the whole day workshop is just $395.
The workshop already has a fair number attending, but there is room for a few more.

Great reading, every weekend.
