Wouldn't it be cool if you could work with MySQL within your JavaScript code? Think about it, you wouldn't have to spend extra time writing extra server-side code for connecting to, querying, and parsing results, you could just write a little bit more code in your JavaScript and be done with it. Of course, we wouldn't want any of this SQL exposed to the end-user, as that would be a major security issue, but what if that problem was solved as well? You might also raise the point that you'd still need the ability to prepare your SQL statements that take dynamic input to prevent SQL injection attacks, but if that weren't an issue, wouldn't that be awesome as well?

It's well overdue, but I've finally managed to get this stuff up. Here are the slides from my presentation on Server-Side JavaScript, as well as the source code for the Jaxer REST API provider and consumers that I wrote.
