Crockford on JavaScript - Volume 1: The Early Years

YUI Library · 10 recommenders · 10 months

Douglas Crockford's first Yahoo lecture puts JavaScript in historical context. He traces the language's structure and quirks back through the early decades of computer science and programming language history.

Why Hacker News readers recommend it: HN repeatedly recommends the Crockford series as a must-watch history of computing and programming languages, and as a way to learn to think in JavaScript.
