Conference talks are an excellentway to pick up lots of useful knowledge and this has been a great year for talks on JavaScript. Between TXJS, JSConf.eu, JSConf.us, JQCon, FOWA and others it’s been a truly amazing year for discussion about the language. In today’s post I’ve selected what I thought were the 10 best talks this year. The idea behind this post is to encourage further learning in JavaScript.

Talks were selected based on how interesting and useful the content they had to offer was and I’ve also taken into consideration votes from other JavaScript developers. This post actually began with a list of 50 talks, but I wanted to provide a list short enough for developers to actually digest. I may post a few others later time-willing.

A few of these guys are friends or colleagues who really know their stuff and I’d definitely recommend checking out their personal blogs for more info on the talk topics. So without further adieu (in no particular order), here are my Top 10 JavaScript talks of 2010. Enjoy!

1. John Resig – The Future Of JavaScript & jQuery (Oct 2010)

 

2. Chris Williams – Community.js From JSConf (A legendary must-see)

 

3. 10 Things I Learned From The jQuery Source With Paul Irish (Re-recorded version)
