I attend part 2 of the 5 part free Douglas Crockford Javascript lecture series at Yahoo! that can be found here. It was worth the appearance on a Friday night as part 2-3 focus on the “meat” of Javascript. Being a non-guru, this is most interesting to me as of the moment. I imagine that the “ninjas” as Crockford calls them will love the forward looking part 4 and 5 of the series.

Thanks to Yahoo! careers for the free book I won in the raffle — Professional JavaScript for Web Developers. I’ve latched onto jQuery for my scripting needs but it doesn’t hurt to know how to wrangle together a simple object and function every so often right?!?
