Douglas Crockford: The JavaScript Programming Language
This video is an outstanding presentation on the history, the language itself, advanced features, available platforms, the state of the standards, and programming styles of JavaScript. It’s presented by the Douglas Crockford. He is the Yahoo! JavaScript Architect.
The video is good for people learning JavaScript and also for experienced developers who would like a greater insight in this language.
What’s interesting here is that Crawford claims that JavaScript is one of the most misunderstood languages and that all books on it are bad, except for one that he recommends that is the “least bad” of the JavaScript books.
The presentation is in 4 parts and lasts about 2 hours.
Part 1 (30:58)
Part 2 (29:08)
Part 3 (19:47)
Part 4 (31:08)
