  • halleyscomet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9@mookie,

    I think the answer is you, and only you.
  • Pyrogen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Its easier to just Block the user. :)
  • psych0fish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I certainly did :-). I was trying to figure out what javacsript had to do with bootcamp. Silly me.
  • bryanl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Amy has done it again! This is a doc is a great read on javascript.

  • thewebguy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5thanks lover
  • urbanaut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Where can I get the audio to her tutorial? (If there is one)
  • inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3> Since I am actually a web developer rather than a browser fanboy

    That being the case, why would you assume the author has any control of the technology on which the article is presented? Unless by "web developer" you mean someone who cranks out circa-1998 looking flat HTML pages for small businesses who don't know any better than to be impressed.

    Not trying to be snotty, but come on. I'm a professional web developer and even I have little say in the systems that are chosen for me to work with. It's hardly an issue the author can dictate. Don't you agree?
  • Necrontyr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4The same people who purchase "Introduction to" books dude. You don't assume anything of your users when you do an introductory anything. Sheesh.

    I saw the talk in person, it was great!
  • bpapa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Honestly I was where you were at a year or so ago. A java developer, forced to do some client side stuff. Now I frikkin love javascript.

  • CircleFusion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Her site uses a CMS, if that matters. I doubt those javascript errors are her doing.
  • kortina, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Anyone have a mirror to the pdf of the slides?
  • locnguyen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have to do some javascript coding for my j2ee project right now and I have to say I despise it. I admire javascript for how much control it gives you though, and I feel an urge to learn it more and be a more well rounded developer.
  • kenok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now... all we need is a podcast of her tutorial.
  • moshguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Say what you will but this doc is a great quick reference.
  • Peepsalot, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4mattkeikos:
    I use both Firefox and IE. Since I am actually a web developer rather than a browser fanboy, I have another rule of trying to develop HTML that is compatible with the majority of the users on this planet.

    By the way, the errors appear in firefox as well.
  • inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1> i sort of have a rule against listening to people who use IE

    Funniest comeback I've read on Digg in months.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2yea i was gonna say, you're using ie? wtf!?! ahaha
  • haigMeister, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1It's already down O.o
  • bluephoenix, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Stop wasting comment space by knocking IE. Obviously most of us use firefox when surfing the web in general for various reasons, but we are forced to use IE as web developers to ensure the majority of our users are seeing the content correctly...besides, the new IE 7 looks more then adequate these days when compared to firefox and still to this day contains more powerful scripting options that firefox just doesn't support (such as the DHTML execCommand Method, which is espcially useful when discussing custom CMS projects)

    edit (this was meant for the thread below this)

  • benw, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0Warmed-over documentation. Who needs someone explaining how to assign a variable or concatenate a string?

  • palmer, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0The answer to wicked9's question is NOBODY. Still.
  • palmer, on 10/12/2007, -13/+3Umm, how about NOBODY?
  • palmer, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1That's right, NOBODY. Keep modding down, lamers.
  • Peepsalot, on 10/12/2007, -15/+1I have javascript debugging turned on in IE. This site is unviewable due to constant errors popping up.

    Call me crazy, but I sort of have a rule against reading Javascript tutorials on pages riddled with Javascript errors.
  • m00kie, on 10/12/2007, -16/+2who else thought this had to do with neo-con programming techniques for the matrix? come on, be honest
