There’s a lot of buzz about AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML); but what’s at the center is JavaScript. JavaScript is the world’s most popular programming language. It looks like Java but its much more flexible and works inside the browser. Here’s a few JavaScript leaders to watch.
- Douglas Crockford is the guy who first identified and evangelized some of the techniques like closures and lambdas that are now mainstays of JavaScript ninjas. He works at Yahoo! on JavaScript frameworks including the widely-use JavaScript toolkit in YUI.
- Alex Russell is the creator of the popular Dojo Toolkitfor JavaScript, and heavily involved in pushing improvements across the various runtimes.
- Joseph Smarr is chief architect and employee #1 at Plaxo, and is a well-known expert on JavaScript best practices – you can see the talks he gave at Mozilla and Yahoo! on JavaScript performance.
