Tonight I gave a talk on Javascript Libraries at Refresh Richmond. I described what they are and why they're so useful. It went pretty well. I was worried that I'd shoot over a lot of people's heads, but from the people I talked to, it was right on point.

I fielded a ton of questions and got the feeling I introduced a lot of people to Prototype, Scriptaculous, and the idea of javascript libraries in general.

If you came to the talk and are looking for more information, I've posted some links below.

• Prototype
• Scriptaculous
• moo.fx

• Painless Javascript Using Prototype
• My Demo
