  This section is something I hope to become a steadily growing series of educational videos about the JavaScript programming language.

  This project has been postponed indefinitely. I'm currently working full-time on the next version of my W3 Viewer project (coming Jan 2013).

    This video systematically, and thoroughly covers the changes introduced by the strict mode of JavaScript. You'll learn about the "bad parts" of the default language, and how the strict language fixes them.

    Includes handy cheat-sheet

• Stuff

  These are the things that I've published so far. I've got a bunch of ideas that I work on occasionally but only few have made it to the Internet so far. -.-

  • W3 Viewer

    w3viewer.com

    The W3 Viewer is a convenient interface for viewing W3C documents. It contains lists for the categories HTML, CSS, DOM, JavaScript (APIs), and others.

    I'm currently working on the next (second) version of this project. I plan to publish it January 2013.

  • Blogs Viewer

    ecmazing.com/blogs

    This web-page is a convenient interface for viewing JavaScript blogs.

    Hašek is the croatian academic spellchecker. I did a rewrite/redesign of the UI as my college thesis.

    If you want to see how it works in practice, click on the "provjeri web-stranicu" text-link, then enter "http://net.hr" (or any Croatian URL) into the input field, and click on the "Provjeri" button.

• Stack Overflow

  I absolutely love Stack Overflow. I couldn't imagine doing JavaScript research without it.

  Here are some of the questions I've asked on Stack Overflow. The "E", and "B" categories are selected lists, while the numbered categories map to my ECMAZING VIDEO series.

  • 1
  • E
  • B
  • 1. Are the terms “global property” and “global variable” synonyms?
    2. What are the benefits of ES5 Strict being a fully statically scoped language?
    3. Is it possible to change the value of the identifier `eval` from within strict code?
    4. What is a direct reference?
    5. Changing the value of a binding in a lexical environment
    6. (function eval () {}) throws a syntax error if function body is in strict mode?
    7. Why doesn't strict mode restrict “eval”, and “arguments” from appearing as label names?
  • 1. The space character as a punctuator in JavaScript
    2. May function declarations appear inside statements in JavaScript?
    3. Why is an integer literal followed by a dot a valid numeric literal in JavaScript?

  • 1. How many JavaScript programs are executed for a single web-page in the browser?
    2. How to pause JavaScript execution in Internet Explorer?
    3. Is it possible to perform an asynchronous cross-domain file-upload?
    4. Is it possible to programmatically catch all events on the page in the browser?
    5. In web-browsers, is the window object a native ECMAScript object?
    6. Are there any cross-browser JS features that are not documented by the ECMAScript std.?

  Regarding ecmazing, it's just a brand that I intend to use for my JavaScript-related work. (Btw, ecmazing = ECMAScript is amazing.)
