JSCamp Talk: Jed Schmidt - Markup and Style without HTML and CSS
Channel: JSCampAsia
Date: 20/12/2012

Much of the complexity of writing JavaScript apps comes from stringing together other technologies: not just HTML and CSS, but the increasingly popular template engines and pre-processors that we use produce them. In this talk, Jed will show you how to eliminate your app's dependencies and simplify your workflow with one small trick: unifying your app's code, style, and markup into one language.

Jed is a JavaScript developer based in Tokyo, and has been using node.js since just before its debut in 2009. He maintains a variety of open-source JavaScript libraries from database bindings to DOM builders, and has built several fun projects, including 140byt.es, a tweet-sized code golfing contest, and Ramendan, a grueling month-long test of ramen devotion.
