I just finished reading JavaScript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford. I must say that this is a remarkably short book (or remarkably long depending on your view of JavaScript these days).

I should also point out that this is probably the last post I will be using ?FubuSample? in. I have my college class working on an […]
Read MoreThe crew here at Elegant Code has discussed advertising for a long time now and we have largely dismissed the idea. One big reason for this is a desire to have a degree of confidence that the products advertised are neither intrusive or incompetent. Google Ad-Sense, as an example, was never a real option. Why […]
