Chris Mills

Heavy Metal Coding

In this unconventional talk, Chris Mill will encourage you to pick up some drum sticks in addition to your laptop, and beat out a rhythm of learning - both of code and drum beats! You'll learn basic JavaScript and CSS, plus beginner's heavy metal drum patterns. The two are a marriage made in heaven, as nothing is a better antidote to code frustration than beating seven shades of **** out of a drum kit.
