Re-introduction to Javascript ...

this might be an older article (published in 2006) ... but it's a must for web developers or whoever is interested in Javascript ... re-introduced yourself to this confusing yet amazing language!

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/A_re-introduction_to_JavaScript

i've been working with Javascript on and off during the last year, it has been quite an experience because it's unconventional (it's not like C# or C++ or HTML), but it's powerful.

More thoughts to come on a later date ...

thoughts on Canvas ....

i guess i haven't wrote anything technical ... in a long while .... please check out my other blogs ....

anyways ... i came across this new element in HTML that's been kind of interesting ... the canvas tag it's ! it allows the real time drawing of rectangles and other arbitrary shapes ... check these references out ..

there aren't too much stuff out there ... (mainly it's driven by Mozilla, Apple , Google ... )
here's the main tutorial page -

here's a shell to try your code on -
