I’ve decied to start to build a collection of valuable web developer oriented lectures. The idea is to collect a vast number of them in one place. Everybody knows where exactly to search. Huge websites as YouTube, Yahoo! Video, Google Video, etc. has very intersting video lectures, but unfortunately they should be searched and there’s no place for all of them.

The author talks about the history of JavaScript, the language features, platforms, standards and style. You’ll receive answers on most of the questions around JavaScript. Why it’s called like that? Is there any relation with Java? Is it a real language?

Crockford says almost every book about JavaScript is bad, but however the only recommendation is the JavaScript: The Definitive Guide which was the least bad from all.

If someone wants to download the slides from the lecture, you can do this from here.

I hope I can select only the valuable ones and I hope you’ll enjoy it.
