[PJUG Javamail] GWT with Facebook

[Preston Crawford]

My current contract has me working on JavaScript quite a bit and most of it
is completely custom minus jQuery. So from my experience that level of
JavaScript use is most definitely out there. Getting familiar with it is a
good idea. We support all kinds of browsers and functionality I had never
seen before. So I'm definitely appreciative that I've gotten to work with
JavaScript at the depth and would encourage anyone else to do the same.
