Abstract
I have being coding with JavaScript for 25 years. In that time I've seen everything - from when debugging meant calls to alert() and web animations meant Flash, to canvas graphics and real-time MIDI. So, why not see what was considered cutting edge in a world before Facebook and bitcoin! From 3D graphics without WebGL, to particle systems, Grand Theft Auto in LEGO, YouTube APIs, WebRTC, speech recognition, VR, WebAudio, Alexa, WebSockets, and myriad frameworks, there are a million things now possible with JavaScript that was unimaginable back in 1999. Come and enjoy the history lesson (if you're young) or the nostalgia (if you're old...er) to be reminded just how great JavaScript can be!
