Eric,
Your phrase is a bit convoluted, but I understand that you respectfully
believe that brains and jobs are being sequestered in environments where
Java 7 isn't installed. Right?
I respectfully disagree on various points:
- Java 5/6 with Guava strikes a very good balance between programmer
I'm happy to say that JavaScript isn't solely trapped in the browser - it's
available for server-side stuff. Specifically, Node.js (nodejs.org)
I've written a book and am nearly finished with revision 2 on using Node
(title: Node Web Development) ...
Coming at the topic as a Java developer
Well, in my day job it's Java 1.5 still. In any case it was meant as a
joke.
Seriously, I believe that for many Java programmers not exposed to FP at
school (as it was for me) reasoning about anonymous inner classes was the
road to understanding functions back in the time when java lambda

My suggestion to Lenny is: stay away from all javascript OO-like features
(just NEVER use new) for the first couple of months and explore modules
and prototypes. The chance is big that you'll come to think that such an
untyped language may be exploited better by leaving aside the traditional

For anyone who's already comfortable with Java and writes their
controllers, models, or even views in a java like way (e.g. Swing, JSF)
Backbone.js may be a good alternative for the MVC stuff over angular. Your
javascript looks a lot like Java with type inheritance safety, private vs

Cedric's just biased in favour of angular because they use ng as a prefix
:)
Instead of e.g. liking the way it plays up to the characteristics of
javascript and the DOM, rather than trying to shoehorn logic into a
paradigm that doesn't quite fit.

I don't think javascript itself has changed too very much in the last three
years, although there have been lots of developments in libraries and
whatnot. I suppose I should put in a word for reviewing the spec and
getting down to the nitty-gritty. It's not my favorite language spec in the
world
undisputed... are you sure you don't mean undisclosed? There must have
been at least some disagreement over what percentage of their purchase
price you claimed in royalties.

FYI this is a pretty technical book.
I think that it takes a few days for a Java programmer to be reasonably
fluent in Javascript, the really interesting stuff is not so much the
language minutia but becoming familiar with the ecosystem (very similar to
Java in that respect). My suggestions:
Having looked at both, I'm not sure that there's a lot of connection. In
fact, such a book would largely consist of sentences contining the phrase,
in javascript, unlike in Java
Javascript has a superficially similar structure, but it is almost entirely
unlike java, and should probably be
I strongly agree with this viewpoint. In fact I think that the syntactic
similarity to Java actively hinders people from learning how the language
actually works.
