Tuning Up My Javascript
I’ve been playing around with Adobe AIR these two days. I’m planning to use it to create a desktop client. Adobe AIR, in short, is a runtime that allows web developers to “port” their web applications onto a desktop client using existing technologies that they are familiar with.
With AIR, the HTML/CSS serves as the Graphical User Interface while the Javascript handles application events and manipulates the content. It’s actually very flexible and fairly simple to develop on, especially since there is no need to worry about buffer overflow, etc.
The markup and Javascript are rendered with the Webkit engine; everything is standard-based. This is actually for the first time I get to write HTML and Javascript code without worrying about Internet Exploder 
However, my Javascript really sucks (could only do simple AJAX stuff and DOM manipulation), and yet despite my hate for the language, I am starting to learn to work with the (special and crappy) syntax and chaining.
So far, I’ve managed to do some simple things with it. More is to come *hint*.
