- hliyan 11y agoA great resource. But I was put off by the preponderance of "Blah" in the entries.
- bshimmin 11y agoI guess you could say those entries are the less good parts.
- varlock 11y agoWell, both 'Browser' and 'CSS' appendices are just 'blah'. And 'Further Reading' just goes 404.
- bshimmin 11y agoFor the avoidance of confusion, I was just making a (fairly weak) joke in reference to Crockford's famous "JavaScript: The Good Parts" book. The "blah" bits are obviously just placeholders - I'm sure there's no value judgment associated with them!

- Already__Taken 11y agoI don't think it's worth the effort writing another section on regex, just link to https://regex101.com/ https://regex101.com/ or http://www.regexr.com/ http://www.regexr.com/ a cheatsheet and call it done.
- Kiro 11y ago"An array is a sequence of values. Each value is given an ordinal number. Blah." Why the "blah"?
- mobinni 11y agoI think Douglas never got around to writing those sections, or maybe he thought they were self-explanatory. Who knows?
- zcrar70 11y agoHe explains this here: http://www.crockford.com/javascript/encyclopedia/preface.html http://www.crockford.com/javascript/encyclopedia/preface.htm... (In summary, it's a started work but not finished, and he's hoping people will step in to help him finish it). I do wonder how useful this going to prove, given Mozilla's already excellent reference material (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...).
- tracker1 11y agoGiven the request for contribution, converting to markdown and sourcing on github would probably be prudent. Blah.
