Best Practices in Javascript Library Design

Comments on 'Best Practices in Javascript Library Design'

1. You can use VBScript to manipulate the DOM in IE... that's
   about it :)
2. @Edel99 Please look up the history of Java and JavaScript
   before you expose this level of ignorance. JavaScript is a
   radically different sort of OO language that C# or Java. If
   you are confusing Java and JavaScript, look at Wikipedia, a
   local bookstore or just Google.
3. I guess the idea is that these are things that are so
   natural you don't have to document them - they should still
   be in the documentation though, e.g. for people who write
   their own plugins.
4. what a video smooth work..time has no problem does it
5. Sun has Java, of course, and now JavaFX, which uses JavaFX
   Script. Adobe has Flash, which supports ActionScript and,
   with Alchemy, C/C++ compiled to ActionScript. Its AIR
   runtime lets Flash/Javascript run offline in a VM. Microsoft
   has Silverlight, which supports many languages thru the
   CLR/DLR (e.g. C# and IronPython). Google has 'Native
   Client', which lets compiled C/C++ code run in the browser
   with standard library support (e.g. stdlib, libstdc++, math,
   NPAPI, RPC, and threads).
6. I read how 'Java' slow and to be avoided. In the case on
   Javascript, is this the only language use for building
   interaction on the web? It seems to be the most popular...
7. Java & Javascript are different. Javascript was never well
   supported on various browsers. However with JQuery framework
   it is probably your best client-end scripting tool. If you
   are new to web development, you should definitely try
   JQuery. It is wonderful and makes your job very easy. There
   are numerous JQuery plugins that are contributed, you can
   use them in your application and get instant functionality
   without writing lengthy and unstable javascript code.
8. Im just learning web-development, but I have experience with
   C++ and C#. I have always stayed away from Java because I
   figured C# was supposed to kill Java. My question is: Since
   JavaScript has been around forever, is there any other
   language that is better for client-side scripting??

   auction website script and more. Email me today at

11. Here's a web based REPL.
    squarefree(dot)com/shell/shell.html Javascript returns the
    last expression or the one you explicitly returned. Also,
    you can use print("foo") and obviously alert().
12. You'll need to do that for many reasons.. such emulating
    block scope, as arguments for higher-order functions etc.
    You'd know this if you know any functional
    programming. It's not about "I'm better than you". In fact
    free software sucks a lot harder sometimes.
13. Yes, it is an assignment, but it still executes the
    function. I guess the syntax in question is for calling an
    anonymous function when you don't care about the result - or
    that has no result (technically it's not a function in that
    case, but that's the syntax we're stuck with). I've simply
    never needed to do that. And FYI, I don't play the "I'm
    better than you" Linux vs. Windows game; all software sucks,
    so give me a break. :D
14. x=function() {...}(); is an assignment. You're not executing
    the function standalone. Playing around with a REPL helps to
    learn core JavaScript. "aptitude install spidermonkey" if
    you're or debian based systems. Then, "js" will invoke a
    REPL. If you're on KDE, you already have "kjs". If you're on
    winblows, I'm not talking to you again. :-D
15. If you need to execute a an anonymous function standalone,
    you have to wrap it in parens. That's part of the syntax.
    Why? Ask Brendan Eich. :-D
16. I understand Lambda, but as far as the syntax, I have been
    calling anonymous functions without wrapping them in parens
    forever without it being a problem. e.g. x=function()
    {...}(); Never a browser has ever complained to me about
    that. I just thought maybe there was some other reason for
    wrapping it in parens.
17. Because it's a syntax error otherwise. Most likely because
    the interpreter expects unwrapped functions to be statements
    and not expressions. BTW, this is called Lambda in
    functional programming. Read "The Little Schemer" and
    "Javascript the good parts".
18. jajajajaajajajaaj
19. hello all, If i can just have a moment,Wrath of the Gods is
    a new MMO about to start up,we are looking for more
    programers with java script exp and need to live in the
    UK,if you want more information please leave me a comment
    and ill get back to you,Thank you for all your time
20. Why do you wrap anonymous functions in parens before
    invoking them? e.g. (function(){/*do something*/})()
21. I discovered jQuery recently and it is awesome.
    Information in this video about conventions used in jQuery
    was particularly useful - why have I not seen this
    highlighted in the documentation?
22. el Javascript es una lengua usada para programar
23. que es JavaScript
24. How is this video 62 minuets???????????
25. Good points of view. :)
