From Java it took most of the syntax, and from Perl some of its regular expressions. From Scheme it borrowed lambda functions and loose typing. JavaScript was influenced by Scheme, Java and Perl. Here are some interesting points from the lecture: It's 1 hour long and it will definitely make your understanding of JavaScript better: You're welcome to watch the video lecture. After the talk there is a 13 minute Q and A. Douglas also talks about how he discovered JSON. He talks about the bad and good parts of JavaScript and gives a few examples of common JavaScript problems, their solutions and patterns. An interesting point Doug makes is that JavaScript is basically Scheme, except with Java syntax. The lecture begins with a brief intro of why JavaScript is the way it is and how it came to be so. ![]() The talk is based on Douglas's recent book " JavaScript: The Good Parts". He's the author of JSON, JSMin JavaScript minifier and JSLint. This lecture is given by JavaScript guru Doug Crockford. I have written about JavaScript in the past - the previous post on JavaScript was " Learning JavaScript through Video Lectures". I'm a JavaScript journeyman myself so I decided to review it to learn something new. I found a really nice video lecture on JavaScript. ![]()
