<p class="intro">Our retreats are special for many reasons, but chief amongst them is that <em>you&#8217;re in control</em>: you pick the topics and we cover them in-depth.</p>
<p>On this retreat, <a class="fn url" href="http://aaron-gustafson.com">Aaron Gustafson</a> will be your guide through the often confusing world of JavaScript. He&#8217;s ready to tackle anything—language fundamentals, progressive enhancement and accessibility, working with jQuery, optimizing your code&#8230; whatever you want or need to know about JavaScript. Whether you are an absolute beginner or a seasoned programmer, you will come away with the knowledge you need to get the most out of the language.</p>
<h2>A bit about your guide</h2>
