of time writing mediocre JavaScript code, from simple browser games to
a half-assed HTTP server that ran on top of XULRunner. But I have
nowhere near the depth of understanding of what's actually going on
"under the hood" as I have with C or Python or even Objective-C. So I'm documenting my adventures here- both for my own reference and
in the hope that it makes it easier for someone else to do the same. First stop, a refresher on the object system: http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/JavaScript/ObjectOriented-JavaScript-An-Introduction-to-Core-Concepts/
http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/JavaScript/Object-Oriented-JavaScript-Using-the-Prototype-Property/ Douglas Crockford's presentation "JavaScript - The Good Parts" sounds
promising: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/630959/2974197 ... maybe in
conjunction with finishing up the chapter on him in Coders at Work.
