##About “Lightning Talks: 8”
Lightning Talks are a really fun event we put on every 3 months. Community members have 5 to 10 minutes to talk about JavaScript or topics related to JavaScript. We give preference to new speakers to strengthen our community. To participate: post your topic and presentation length.
Common talk themes include: problems you’ve solved, libraries you like, a cool blog post you read, something you’re working on now, or pretty much any other way you’re using JavaScript to achieve your goals. Please note that marketing pitches are not allowed; lightning talks are a community enrichment event.

WebGL. We’ve all heard about how it’s bringing 3D to the web. Games are adopting WebGL, 3D model viewers are adopting WebGL, and industrial applications are adopting WebGL for 3D. What you may not realize is it’s the future of 2D graphics as well. Google maps, MapboxGL, Youtube, and lots of games are using WebGL to do things that just aren’t possible with Canvas. This is not just true for the web and WebGL but for desktop and mobile applications that use OpenGL. WebGL is a great way to learn the current state of the art for web graphics and hone your graphics skills across all platforms.
Unfortunately WebGL is hard :( and most tutorials are either horribly out of date, or just suggest using a framework like Three.js (which is a great framework but doesn’t teach you much about the guts of WebGL). Fortunately with some simple explanation, WebGL can be tamed and be a fun, valuable tool in your toolbelt. In this talk I’ll give you the key pieces that you need to know to use WebGL, show you how to get started, and where to go from there.
SWOSU grad who’s done everything from freelance work, the startup scene, and even some government contract work. I’ve done frontend and backend work (and even some mobile) in everything from Java to JavaScript (except C++, not a huge fan…). I don’t always code, but when I do I like to do it well… When I’m not coding I’m running, playing soccer, brewing beer, or anything that doesn’t involve a computer.

##About “The Event Loop (or how JavaScript works)”
Have you ever wondered how Javascript works? Why synchronous calls are bad? What really happens when you use callbacks, call setTimeout, or make an ajax or database call? Is Javascript really single threaded?
The answer to all these questions and more can be found at the heart of every browser and Node.js. The Event Loop.

Since these tend to be pretty popular, we’ve started a ‘signup’ on the Google + page. By ‘signup’ I meann “post a comment in the thread”. It’s basically first come, first serve. Or FIFO. Whatever :)
