JavaScript Exposed: There's a Real Programming Language in There! (Part 2)
Building on part 1, this talk dives deep into JavaScript's object model. We'll see how it differs from more mainstream object-oriented languages, and why. We'll explore how to hide some of those differences, as well as the reasons you might not want to. Additionally, we'll cover useful tools for JavaScript testing, debugging, and profiling.
Ajax is not the focus of this talk, but a strong foundation in JavaScript is essential for working with Ajax.
