Advanced Introduction to JavaScript

with 2 comments


Some software developers have an impression that JavaScript is a second-league interpreted language with the main purpose of making Web pages a little prettier. The reality is different though. JavaScript is a powerful, flexible, dynamically typed language that supports object-oriented programming. JavaScript functions are the first class citizen that can live their own lives as opposed to Java’s methods. HTML5 becomes a new buzzword, but 80% of development time on such projects is spent writing JavaScript code.This presentation is a super-intensive overview of the modern JavaScript programming language.


I’ve recorded this screencast for the Fifth Annual Farata Symposium on Software Development.

  1. Nice presentation…nice into to advanced JavaScript. Definitely summarizes things up nicely and I like that you’re able to contrast with Flex and Java.
