GRAYGER

Recently, I found Douglas Crockford’s blog. Although I am very interested in his articles, finding his blog took a long time since http://www.crockford.com/ doesn’t provide any link to it. Reading posts was enjoyable. I note down some impressive posts.

Introducing other’s work

• A paper, Using JavaScript as a Real Programming Language
• The Non-Designer’s Design Book

Introducing his work

• Adsafe
• Contributions to JSON

Informative but arguable (in my view)

• XML’s future in WEB : XML is on web trending down. XHTML failed to displace HTML because
  • Its client-side validation is not so beneficial.
  • It lacks security model

• Thread is evil.
• Scribe, the first trial of data-document translation, is similar to JSON. Adopting SGML and XML instead of it was a bad choice.

Security of JavaScript seems to be one of his current concerns. His recent talk shows his approaches toward the security problems.
