| Thanks for this, Ian. It looks like the entire series, including "hi-res" (480p) video, is hosted here:

If you have not caught up with this video series by Crockford on _javascript_, it is well worth watching: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/_javascript_-ajax/crockford-on-_javascript_-the-complete-series/which is about far more than just _javascript_. It is about why programmers are resistant to new ideas, how we usually end up with messes (JS in particular), language design, and subtly why C and C++ are poor languages (and Java as well). Oh, yeah, and why the web is such a mess (just bad ideas done quickly and a great perspective on the lasting effect of the browser wars). This series is well worth watching for the insights it has into our profession. I think the WO community will find them very interesting. Ian
