If you are into JavaScript and/or the web in general you probably have noticed that JSConf finished yesterday. I, most probably as many of you, could not attend. Bummer.

My twitter feed was overflowing with tweets containing the #jsconf hashtag, which sounded quite intriguing. While I was looking at my feed update (getting jealous) I thought - “What would I do if I was there?”

Therefore I decided to put together this short list, just for the heck of it.

1. Learn and discuss
I believe the number 1 reason to go to an event like JSConf is to learn and then discuss what you have learned. And having such a high concentration of people that live and dream in code is very much stimulating your brain activity.

2. Networking
The breaks, the after-parties and all the small group hacking sessions. Meeting people whose articles and tweets you have read is awesome! Having a drink with them is even awesomER. Plus all the sweet talking about JavaScript and how the Web will take over the world. Muhahaha!

3. Ride the mechanical bull
Yee-haa! That’s about it, I’ve never tried it so I’m pretty certain I’ll be a failure but heck why not give it a try.

4. Drink and code Mojito
Apparently mojito was a key word during JSConf ‘12. It seemed like people not only had the alcoholic beverage but also hacked together on the newly open-sourced Mojito MVC application framework by Yahoo. I would love to have a mojito while coding in mojito.

5. Tell people about tiljs.com
JSConf is probably one of the largest JavaScript development conferences and there are numerous JavaScript ninjas who have awesome tricks up their sleeves. The purpose of tiljs.com is sharing JavaScript knowledge (blog post about that) and the people at this conference can contribute a big bunch to my small project. I would have loved to tell them more about it.

Oh well, that’s my top 5. I would love to hear what’s yours?
