No more software to download. No more writing that test.js file to publish by some web server. It's a great programmer efficiency tool that makes the browser-based rich-client world more bearable.
And now it's drop-dead easy to test continuations. Here's the JavaScript Continuations code again in one easy copy-Steve Yenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13618289526719293677noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736676.post-1091308775625448972004-07-31T14:14:00.000-07:002004-08-01T01:07:25.636-07:00Continuations In MozillaI came upon two interesting subjects recently: Lambda the Ultimate's Continuations discussionAspect-oriented-programming in JavaScript in 20 lines of code
In the spirit of Roman Porotinkov's AOP posting, I'd like to add this attempt to explain continuations with a short implementation in JavaScript. Here's are three sample functions that we'll work with...

Sometimes our early technological bets turn out to be bad choices, but we don't find out until too late (at least too late to restart a project).
From my Google searches, Simon Willison and Peter-Paul Koch seem to have the leading edge observations on how to safely wield DHTML and JavaScript.

I had long ago written off technologies like DHTML and JavaScript as just ugly UI hacks meant for silly animation and annoying popups, but it's now time for another look.
Especially with a second look at JavaScript, I'm very pleasantly surprised.

While ripping through it at the bookstore, I caught his demographic conclusions about millions of spouse-deprived Chinese men who will soon be randying about the Asian sphere -- in search of wives (and work). That's just one inevitable future consquence of government policies - the Chinese government's infamous Steve Yenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13618289526719293677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736676.post-1090706936417910362004-07-24T15:07:00.000-07:002004-07-24T15:09:24.416-07:00That's so 2004I've surrendered to hype.
