Stephen King: The last word on Harry Potter

Since I was a big fan of Stephen King and am a big fan of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, I read this review with extreme satisfaction. Stephen knows the secret of magic and he acknowledges that Rowling has raised the standard with her Opus Harry.

Learning JavaScript through Video Lectures

In this article Peteris Krumins explains how he is learning the finer points of JavaScript programming by watching a couple of video lectures by Yahoo.

Since I work with Alfresco in my job and a lot of scripting in Alfresco is done in JavaScript, I think it would be good idea to just follow his lead. So I tried to watch the videos but find that the links on Peteris’ blog don’t work. But all is well after a simple search on Yahoo all was well

For your convenience, I have collected all these videos on my video pages here:

Javascript Programming, Douglas Crockford

Advanced Javascript Programming, Douglas Crockford

Theory of the DOM, Douglas Crockford
