DESIGN: If design strikes your fancy, then come partake of the morsels of UI/UX wisdom generously provided by Khoi Vinh, former Design Director of The New York Times, and Ben Pieratt of Svpply. They'll each give a presentation on design principles, share what they're learned in their careers, then interview each other and take questions. Good times for all.

DEV: Who's ready for some server-side JavaScript? That's right, we've got Charlie Robbins of Nodejitsu fame giving a workshop on building real-time web apps using Node.js.
About the Workshop
Real-time features are quickly becoming the most important aspect of any web application. This workshop will explore how to build a real-time application with Node.js and socket.io that can handle thousands of concurrent connections. Attendees should bring a laptop (preferably with a Linux / BSD based system) with Node.js 0.4.x and git installed.
