Have you ever wanted (as an object-oriented JavaScript developer) to work with an object before you had an instance of it? For example, perhaps there’s a method that you would like to call without going through the overhead of instantiating the object 1. How would you go about doing this? Can you invoke myWidget.doSomeStuff() if […]
While reading Nicholas Zakas’ High Performance JavaScript, it occurred to me that there were actually two different reviews that I wanted to write. So, rather than try to reconcile them into one review, I’ll simply apply them here as an ordered list. (1) To continue with the JavaScript University metaphor (from my review of Zakas’ […]
While I was reading this, I liked to imagine that I was at university and that Douglas Crockford was the insanely popular genius professor that showed up late for lectures, and then either spoke too fast or else mumbled a lot, and then locked himself in his office refusing to answer the door during office […]

It started simply enough. A simple 1 question: “Is it a button?” Referring to this: This is (of course) the “All Sizes” button for any given photo on Flickr. And (also “of course”) depending on how pedantic you want to get and/or how technical, it’s arguably not a button at all: …it’s an <a> masquerading […]
Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) is here, and that’s plenty exciting. All the refinements–in the UI and under the good–are getting their due play 1. One of those refinements: all of Java’s roads lead to 64-bit Java SE 6 2. If you’re not panicking (or at least a little alarmed) then don’t bother reading onward. […]
