About UtahJS.com

UtahJS is the website for the Utah JavaScript Users Group that meets to discuss and enjoy JavaScript!

JavaScript in the browser, on the server or just about anywhere else.

We love JavaScript but quite often talk about other topics such as CSS, HTML, cross browser coding, the internet… pretty much, anything that we find interesting.

Everyone is welcome. Please join us!
