This is interesting. When I worked at a high traffic news site, we had what seemed like an unending stream of low-level crises related to 3rd party scripts of various sorts and it always blew me away, not being someone who focused on the front end, that there wasn't a more formalized methodology for dealing with them.
- rhizome31 15y agoNope it's just hacks. The script tag with JSONP and nested iframes is pretty much all we've got.
- bentlegen 15y agoI might be biased, but I disagree that it's "just hacks". Certainly hacks are involved, but there are a number of best practices and methodologies involved in proper third-party scripting. Which are covered in the book.
- Tanner 15y agoI recently had the pleasure of hearing on of your Engineers, Ben Vinegar, speak at a Tech Talk in Toronto. My impression from the talk was that the hacks were perhaps the more interesting subject. I hope you haven't cut them all out of your book.
