Google I/O 2011: Learning to Love JavaScript

[rlniranjan]

hi alex thanks for your video i do need more information about how to get videos on java would it be possible to help me with it

[JScodeZ]

@rlniranjan JavaScript is NOT Java. It is completely different and has no relations to Java. JavaScript was called Java as a joke/marketing purposes.

[JavascriptHacker]













Yea !

[algoid]

Great lecture. Very coherent and articulated well.

[kuktafonisko]

i like that "...F*CK YEAH" in the middle of the screen

[laythkamal]

I'm 10 years old and I love those things I'm not kidding

[ablepilot12]

@laythkamal I'm eleven and a pretty good developer.

[RedofYellow]

@ablepilot12 Good to see you getting into it early I just started a few weeks ago on HTML and CSS and I know them well now. I just need to learn Javascript to make awesome stuff. :D

[TPWNage]

@laythkamal im 23 and I love those things and I'm not kidding either...

[XPantheX]

I seriously think this guy needs to slow the fuck down, I've done some beginner level C++, python, javascript and php coding. I did not make any sense of wtf he went on with, "Function objects are something you can hang behavior off of, but you don't hang behavior off of them by extending the public api area... most of the time you use the as scope, when u invoke BLAH BLAH SCOPE......??????????????" he LOST me so hard, this guy needs to chill with the meth

[WinterXL]

@XPantheX ...this isn't for beginners.

[chairam]

@XPantheX sometimes a 'beginner level' is not enough

[JScodeZ]

@XPantheX Really? You can't even understand what he means by 'scope'?.........Obviously you were not very good at the other languages you mention that you use.

[RebornXSoldier]

@XPantheX Sometimes there's such a thing as too much jargon. Function objects -> The language isn't object oriented so they use functions as objects and all them function objects. Hang behavior off -> "smart" way to say it can "tell" stuff how to do stuff. You don't have it tell stuff what to do by extending public api -> you don't add everything it could possibly do to a resource for portraying what it can do. There's too much. Scope is like blinders for a horse for the program/components.

[SeanBannister]

Interesting sticker.... ;)

[blogpedia]

A must see video for every javascript developer.

[Dailybabble]

@blogpedia You should really also consider mixing JavaScript,Java, and HTML5 it will make your page and application better.

[degoban]

If you love JavaScript you didn't used it enough.

When I started webdev javascript looked so cool. 15 years later I hate it, maybe it's not its fault ( DOM ), but JS is not for complex stuff.

We needed strong typing and classes, like 5 years ago...

What adobe did with Ecma4 was really good, you can thrown random lines of code, or build serious OOP projects. HTML5 mimic many flash features, but not the most useful, the scripting language. Google and Moz should push it, not WebGL.

[chichilatte]

This guy's the new Ferris Beuller

[canucksfan94]

@chichilatte OHHHHH YEAH **chicka chicka** OHHHH YEAH!!!!

[staarland]

What presentation software he uses ?

[mbuchetics]

@staarland "html5slides - A Google HTML5 slide template", it's open source and pretty awesome

[khunshan]

@staarland microsoft powerpoint :D

[cshivani]

Great - thanks for this clear and enjoyable learning!

[TheEthanBrody]

this dude owns the most geek yet cool tshirts!:

[FlameHue]

His sticker says "Open Source Fuck Yeah".

[bizon2005]

boring, no examples from real life

[macoronicheez]

hey guys to test you web development code head to htmlbin(.dot)info for a free code sandbox

[mykhal]

good. but it's little bit messy, with even some bugs in slides.. might be confusing for javascript beginners, when new features pop up without further explanation of basic principles. i understand why you did not include douglas crockford's lectures in the discussion - he's from yahoo and so much better lecturer. anyway, keep up the good work.

[kokoloism]

Relly great talk about Javascript. Can we find slides somewhere ?

Thanks

[webnician]

Javascript has the potential to replace many antiquated ways of delivering content, both on and off the server. This, however, is a promotional video for Google, with a rather long preface about Javascript.

[BlondBomber106]

So we should love javascript because it has allot of features which allows it to simulate object oriented languages? Seems to me like a reason to stay away from javscript.

Feel free to correct me.

[jethrolarson]

URL has sex in it lol

[brandonhaynes1991]

So like who's got the pictures yo? And where's my cheese

[nekudo]

Very interesting talk! Looking forward to the new Javascript features! Thanks!

[runnraz]

Thanks! Really enjoying these talks...

[Shamu459]

This was a great talk. I love the term "foot guns". Could you post the slides somewhere?

[sveisvei]

Bringing JS forward! Great talk Alex!

[WinterWeaver]

Can we get the slides somewhere?

[C0RYR0Y]

Alex is a great speaker. Thanks for the talk!

[akshar100]

BE a bit loud

[stawi1995]

I would like to Download it for seeing it when i am not at home.

Is it posible to Share a downloadlink?

[MachtFisch]

Is the presentation available at some public space?

[martinfrances107]

one of the stickers on his laptop says open source fuck team

anyone know what this is?

[conorucd]

@martinfrances107 it says open source fuck yeah

[thejlx]

@martinfrances107 it says f*ck YEAH not team lol

[orospakr]

@martinfrances107 I have the same sticker on my laptop, too. Got it from a friend at a conference. Not sure where they got them.

[elit5raax]

[ATIGames]
