>Douglas Crockford is “Yoda of lambda programming and JavaScript†(according to Brendan Eich), and he shows it in his presentations on all things JavaScript.
The Yahoo! UI team video-taped his Advanced JavaScript talk (which he gave at The Ajax Experience):
In this presentation — the third of a three-part series he has been teaching at Yahoo! — Douglas looks closely at code patterns from which JavaScript programmers can choose in authoring their applications. He compares familiar constructs like the Pseudoclassical Pattern with more unique patterns like the Parasitic Pattern that (he argues) run more “with the grain†of JavaScript.

Reading slides is bad, but Crockford is a sharp cookie. I’ll grant him a pass.
I’ll second CrackWilding. The best JavaScript presentation in a long, long time.

that parasitic inheritance stuff is pretty sweet. The only problem I have with it is that it is generating new functions on the fly, and therefore isn’t really reusing memory efficiently. Instead of having the objects share a pooled prototype object, each has their own unique methods and such.
I do like the concepts, and I never did think about how not having the ‘new’ keyword could mess things up so much, so I think I shall have to play around with them some myself :)
Good show!
terrific
