Overton Vertis Wright - I Don’t Know Why (I Love You Like I Do)

Recently i found out that string in javascript contains a whole bunch of relatively unknown methods.
For example:

"flirt".blink() // returns <blink>flirt</blink>

What the fuck, even tough its not very useful these days, its neat in some way, and support for this have been around since late 90s. How todays support for this is, i dont know. It works in firefox at least.

Something that potentially could be a bit more useful is:

"Johan Bouveng".link("http://foolishpleasure.net");
// returns:
// <a href="http://foolishpleasure.net">Johan Bouveng</a>

..and a whole others is also in there:

• anchor
• big
• blink
• bold
• fixed
• fontcolor
• fontsize
• italics
• link
• small
• strike
• sub
• sup

More of this can be found in The Complete Javascript Strings Reference in the javascript series by Patrick Hunlock

This was however resolved by my boss by getting some heavy duty gas burners.

They heated the place in 10 minutes. Way to go! I would have brought my hot air ballon if i knew. :)

The key sample in this song is taken from The Brother Johnsons song Streetwave.

Le Knight Club - Soul Bells

This particular song have been sampled by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Eric Chedeville in the song “Soul Bells” from 2002 . One of the members of Daft Punk. This is however released under another name on their own label called Crydamoure.

Brothers Johnson - Streetwave

Cant say much about this song more than it has a really nice flow and uplifting melody along with that whipping 70s flavor. Jesus, im singing along to this one.

The Three Degrees - You’re the Fool

This is one of those, soulful, sexy and smooth songs. A common lead through all my music related postings is that they in most cases are connected, sampled in some way. In this case, a very big part of this song is sampled from Bobby Caldwell’s song What You Wont Do For Love.

2Pac - Do For Love

As so many other of the song i have posted here, this have also been targeted for some sampling.

George Benson - Turn Your Love Around

All these resources are for you who already know your way around JavaScript, but would like to really understand it, and get intimate with it. Javascript is in my opinion the most lovely language to get really intimate with. So consume this, and bon appétit!

First, the awesome javascript triology by Douglas Crockford:

1, The JavaScript Programming Language
Part #1, Part #2, Part #3, Part #4

2, Theory of the DOM
Part #1, Part #2, Part #3

3, Advanced JavaScript
Part #1, Part #2, Part #3

Bonus, “The good stuff”
Part #1

Then we have another rather techy, but important topic by Stuart Langridge:

The Secrets of Javascript Closures
Part #1, Part #2

About maintainability, and how to make code that work for more people, by Chris Heilmann:

Maintainable JavaScript
Part #1, Part #2

John Resig with a nice talk about javascript and libraries.

Advancing javascript with libraries
Part #1, Part “2

Peteris Krumins is also doing a good job explaning, and give you greater understanding of certain parts of the videos that i link to above.

Learning JavaScript Programming Language through Video Lectures

And last, some Bonus links with a lot of goodies

On another tought ill also expose my whole archive of javascript related links that i have saved on delicious, perhaps someone find something useful.

Feel free to give me some more tips on good resources and/or videos that might be on topic.

What i, really, like about this, is that other people competes with the ninjas and proves that you dont have to be named Resig, Edwards, Russel, Crockford, Diaz or Willison in order to put useful stuff out there. :)

According to the slickspeed test, its really fast. Since im writing my own library, for the good exercise and its educational purposes, i have a lot of nice stuff to learn from peppy.

The only thing James needs to do now is a heavily commented version of peppy, to pass this on, let others learn from it! Please do!

(By the way, im not saying that James is not a ninja, obviously he is!)

Good stuff!
