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!

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 ....
