JavaScript Master Class Video
The Douglas Crockford JavaScript Master
Class — In this Master Class video, Douglas will scrape away the language's bad features to reveal all the good ideas that make JavaScript an outstanding object-oriented programming language -- ideas such as functions, loose typing, dynamic objects, and an expressive object literal notation. You'll learn why this powerful feature subset is more reliable, readable, and maintainable than the language as a whole, and discover firsthand how to create extensible and efficient code with it. Watch a preview now.

Sencha Touch JavaScript mobile UI framework, now free

November 25, 2010
Sencha, formerly Ext JS, is one of the most important companies innovating in the open technologies market on the web today. Sencha was founded just a few years ago as a simple AJAX framework provider but has since evolved to being the provider or content curator for some of the most powerful and important projects happening in HTML5 and JavaScript now. The company takes a similar strategy to Adobe by building tools for open content. They have a design tool for building Ext JS-enabled web content and a powerful HTML5 animation tool in the works. The company perhaps made it's biggest splash yet earlier this month when they announced that their new mobile UI framework, Sencha Touch, is now free.

November 17, 2010
Good news for Java fans on Macs, Apple is going to play nice with Oracle. Bad news for Java web developers, NPEs are far too common. Good news for Microsoft developers, there's a new SQL Server coming soon. And coming around the back stretch, it's Firefox 4, by a paw!
New directions in web architecture. Again.
