reducing the overall complexity of the code, and I want to talk about how we did that, adding in support for more bubbling events that don't normally bubble in Internet Explorer, and doing script loading.

javascript best-practice paradigm yahoo pattern blog modularization

a useful singleton pattern
YAHOO.myProject.myModule = function () {

return {
myPublicProperty: "I'm accessible as YAHOO.myProject.myModule.myPublicProperty.",
myPublicMethod: function () {
YAHOO.log("I'm accessible as YAHOO.myProject.myModule.myPublicMethod.");
}
};

}(); // the parens here cause the anonymous function to execute and return
3 more annotations...
- The private variables myPrivateProperty and myPrivateMethod can only be accessed from within the anonymous function itself or from within a member of the returned object.
- power of closure — the principle by which variables local to a function are retained after the function has returned.
- Instead of placing the return statement above the definitions of public functions, I place it at the end of the module and just reference the functions I want to make public, like this:
  
  return {
  
  init: init,
  
  calculate: calculate,
  
  …
  
  }

HTML 5 introduces a number of new Javascript APIs.
2D drawing API which can be used with a new canvas
6 more annotations...
- A history API that exposes the browsing history and allows pages to add to it to facilitate better back-button support in AJAX applications.
- Cross-document messaging
- A drag & drop API to use in combination with a draggable attribute.
- A new network API to enable web applications to communicate with each other on local area networks
- Applications like Mozilla Labs' Bespin point to the need of non-DOM-centric development, and I've always thought of the DOM as a tool for JavaScript developers, rather than the approach some take, where if you can't represent a change withing the DOM, it shouldn't be done in the browser.
- Flash/Flex/AIR is a good example of an "alternative model" that thrives as part of (and in parallel to) the HTML/DOM/CSS web.

Flapjax is a new programming language designed around the demands of modern, client-based Web applications. Its principal features include:

* Event-driven, reactive evaluation
* An event-stream abstraction for communicating with web services
* Interfaces to external web services

Flapjax is easy to learn: it is just a JavaScript framework. Furthermore, because Flapjax is built entirely atop JavaScript, it runs on traditional Web browsers without the need for plug-ins or other downloads. It integrates seamlessly with existing JavaScript code and other frameworks.

what-is-new feature release javascript Rhino java shell

Rhino 1.7R2 contains another Python idea: doctest. This is a function that will test snippets of shell sessions. It gets its name from its use testing these snippets that appear in documentation comments, but it turns out to be a very convenient way to write tests more generally.
