I went to JQuery UK in Oxford on 10th Feb and it was an excellent conference. It had a really good crowd, it was perfectly organised with cool comp bags (including an awesome coffee code coffe mug) and great freebies (Blackberry doling out Playbooks).

I was amazed that the audience LOVED the live code demo’s on stage. It was a niche crowd. But a crowd that makes up a community of some of the most interesting web developers around. You can see the sketchotes I made via this page and there are few of the random one off ones below.
