So, you think you know Javascript, but you have no idea

We all know that Javascript made web-2.0 possible. Some of us even defined web-2.0 as “Javascript finally works”. But do we really know Javascript?

Despite its popularity, people still misunderstood Javascript as just a “script” or some kind of toy, not a programming language. People i know still confuse Javascript with other popular language (Java).

This great presentation by Douglas Crockford from Yahoo! showed us that JavaScript is a very nice dynamic object-oriented general-purpose programming language.
