HolidayJS is an all-day holiday code party in the heart of the desert at the University of Advancing Technology on December 14th. It kicks off with cutting-edge JavaScript talks in the morning and progresses to a full on Hackathon where teams will compete for top of the line prizes using Node.js, HTML 5 and front-end JavaScript. Prizes, tech swag, food and drinks will all be provided.

Aaron Murray, CEO and founder of Fractal and one of the organizers of HolidayJS says, “These types of events bring the community together and really foster an environment of ongoing education and involvement for all skill levels while having fun. When you come out to HolidayJS you’re going to see cutting edge and pragmatic talks, network with the best and brightest from the local community, eat a fantastic lunch, get presents and participate in a hackathon where you may play the role of teacher, student or both.”
