I appreciate your feedback and understand that previous posts of mine have framed this as a jQuery vs. Dojo debate; I tried particularly hard not to do so in this post, and I think you'd be rather hard-pressed to say that this post was a "j

Backbone.js came out just a couple of weeks before I gave this talk in October 2010, and I just hadn't had time to look at it enough to feel comfortable mentioning it. It is definitely a powerful tool for bringing structure to an applicatio

I think this post is neither trolling nor calling on people to blindly switch to Dojo. It is pointing out a thing I see over and over and over again: people choosing jQuery for tasks to which it is simply not suited. Yes, if you know what y

1) Let's do some math here. First, as an instructor I don't get to keep all of the revenue (nor should I -- CodeLesson is providing value here as well, for which I am grateful). Second, I will pay approximately 40% in regular and self-emplo
