Monkeys in the Machine

JavaScript is asynchronous, but too often we try to run intensive tasks
synchronously.  I will walk attendees through various evolutions of a
specific application from synchronous execution of loops through
asynchronous execution with jQuery's Deferreds through asynchronous
background execution with HTML5 Web Workers.

Oh, and the application will be an attempt to breed simulated monkeys
that can type Shakespeare.

Attendees will walk away with a better understanding of asynchronous
behavior and the tools at their disposal to leverage it; as well as
virtual monkeys that can write Shakespeare ...
