However, what really surprised me was your name and photo in the right side of the page. &quot;Tyler Holmes&quot;, could it be the same Tyler that I worked with in Beaverton, the same Tyler who I immensely respect as a programmer and as a person. I do believe it is. It&#39;s been a while buddy, how are you. In case you haven&#39;t read my name yet, it&#39;s Dylan from B&amp;J.<BR/><BR/>I&#39;m living in Indiana now.<BR/><BR/>What&#39;s new with you?<BR/><BR/>P.S. Great article by the way.Dylanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894234069552673615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451123064758809734.post-70502217600426431022008-10-01T20:46:00.000-07:002008-10-01T20:46:00.000-07:00Nice moves Paul, maybe we should call it "Six Things You Didn't Know JavaScript could do".

I'm positive there's a ton of developers out there that can run circles around me when it comes to JavaScript, but I still feel that topics like extending the prototype chain and making use of and closures aren't particularly well known or leveraged. Either way thanks for the feedback!Tyler Holmeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16288716879251803370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451123064758809734.post-12083310304784373602008-09-30T08:30:00.000-07:002008-09-30T08:30:00.000-07:00@anonymous <BR/>Not really... I was at a developer's conference last March and attended a Javascript session. When the speaker asked for a show of hands of the number of people who knew and/or worked with javascript regularly, only about 1/5 of the audience raised their hands. I was not one of them.<BR/><BR/>Informative post, I'd say.
