The Bungee Blog

If you’d like to hear me talk about why raw JavaScript and raw DOM interfaces are not enough, and how Prototype and script.aculo.us make it all nicer to play with, check out the fresh podcast at Pragmatic Programmers.

Sorry for the average audio quality on my side of the interview: it was done through Skype…

Let me know what you think!

As promised, here comes the first edition of Neuron Workout Solutions™, a series that answers the questions and challenges at the end of many chapters in the book. I did not start earlier in order not to spoil the challenge for recent readers, but I think now the time comes.

Thanks to channel sales (sales not directly from Pragmatic Programmers, such as through their website), all of a sudden I see the book hit the 5,000 bought-copies (paper and PDF included) mark.

Woah.

And there are, currently, about 50 subscribers to this blog’s feed. Slightly below 1% of the buyers. The top 1%, obviously: you want fresh info in addition to the book’s contents, don’t you? I already outlined what this blog would have (and indeed, it should feature its first Neuron Workout post within 2 days), but what is it you guys expect to find here?

At any rate, uh, “thanks for watching.” As they say.
