Great insight on so many levels, DC’s knowledge is extensive. Really enjoyable. Wasn’t in attendance and won’t be for any of them, but look forward to the next installment. On a side like the way the video is cut, much better than some of the YUI videos, where the slides and the presenter aren’t a blur.

JoeDev,

But the 90 minutes in between were spectacular, right?

Re: Q&A, it’s always a judgement call when editing talks. In this case, you can assume I didn’t think the Q&A amplified the archival value of the session — the questions were of interest specifically to the people asking them, but I judged they were less interesting generally.

Shame that whatever people were laughing at in the start was cut out.

Also, no questions?

Oh, BTW, really liked the talk. Shed a bit more light on some of the ES5 moves and motives. Nice history lesson in there on why what came from where. Yahoo theater could have a better seek scrubber though. It was impossible to jump to exact points of the talk at some times if i wanted to back up because i missed something.

$.ninja();

As weird as it may look to DC, I think it looks cool and I might be biased having grown up on the web using PHP. It was also way less tacky than branding all my code with Yahoo as a global namespace. Looks more at home as a library or language extension.
