Douglas Crockford: The JavaScript Programming Language

[afasico]

In case you want to try it out...

function fade(id) { var dom=document.getElementById(id­), level = 1; function step() { var h = level.toString(16); var newColor = '#FFFF' + h + h; dom.style.backgroundColor = newColor; if (level<15) { level += 1; setTimeout(step,100); } } setTimeout(step,100);

}

What better way to learn the fundamentals of javascript than learning them from the js guru Douglas Crockford.

@Doug, Thanks a lot for that amazing lecture. Really appreciate it.

too bad it's only in 360p. youtube should ban anything below 480p

Great lecture! I love his mellifluous voice, it reminds me of James Spader.

I can see a Douglas Crockford: Advanced Javascript video but no "Douglas Crockford: Theory of the DOM" video. Does it exist on YouTube?

[kutchbhi1]

@sqeye I think theory of DOM is same as An inconvenient API

[Frodo6432]

@sqeye It's named 'Douglas Crockford: An Inconvenient API - The Theory of the DOM'

how do I debug javascript? E.g. there must be a toolset? Thanks for any reply!

[JavaScriptGuy]

@carterson2 Use the console. Most browsers have built-in consoles. If yours doesn't, you can use Firebug.

[sergiuoxigen]

@carterson2 Even Google Chrome web browser supports adding breakpoints in your Javascript code, so it is the most handy tool

Best (only) JS lecture I've ever seen. Beats the JS books on my shelf in first 40min.

Pretty printing!
