The 11 JavaScript mistakes you're making

Traditionally I’ve not really had much of an affinity towards JavaScript. I’ve used it because I have to. But as my experience with programming languages has matured more generally, I’ve developed more of a respect for JavaScript and a desire to learn it more thoroughly.

If you’re trying to learn JavaScript, you can do worse than to have a read of this Nettuts+ article, the 11 JavaScript mistakes you’re making, which details some common gotchas and best practice.

Feeds to fit

As Andrew pointed out, my RSS feeds went a bit wobbly yesterday. Sorry if you found a few outdated articles in your reader, it’s a consequence of migrating a Feedburner feed to a new provider. I’m not sure it can be avoided, but it shouldn’t happen again now.

However, the main reason of this note is to inform you that I now have three different feeds you can subscribe to:

• Main site feed - contains everything
• Articles feed - just articles
• Notes feed - just notes (smaller more frequent updates)

Please excuse me whilst I clean up the mess

It’s been a long time coming (a really, really long time), but you are now looking at my redesigned website!

Loads has changed both visually and behind the scenes, so I fully expect for the rest of today I’ll be spending my time fixing things I’ve broken and tying up all the loose ends.

Once the dust has settled, I’ll publish a more comprehensive writeup of the changes and how I’ve got here (it’s a saga!).

Until then…
