Peepcode - Javascript with Prototype.js
May 16th, 2007
There's no stopping Geoffrey Grosenbach.
Last week I got the latest Peepcode Screencast on Javascript with Prototype.js. Awesome. Just awesome.
I bought the TFD screencast (which I think was the first) and I was very impressed with the production quality then. The latest offering is even better.
The content itself is very well explained and goes into great detail covering a huge area of the subject. Javascript has always been the part of web development that I disliked. Prototype helped hugely to make it easy to work with, but this screencast has really made me look at javascript in a new light and give up the 'cut' and 'paste' style of old.
In particular the section about Behaviours has finally helped me to understand why and how I can use unobtrusive javascript, just like Dan Webb has been telling us to for ages.
All that and more - it's an hour and a half long. And for £4.50 ($9) there really is no excuse.
