I know how you feel. I've worked at a couple of startups, two groups at Apple, two groups at Google and now at Twitter. I've learned two things chasing a feeling of fulfillment, like you seem to be: 1. You can't expect your j

The authors makes it sound like after designing the UX, the implementation will become trivial. I think this is a bit naive because most serious applications go through many iterations of UX. Some of these changes will be small and not requ

Yes, Javascript the language is getting better support in browsers, but DOM manipulation without a framework (like jQuery) is still horrible.

If you don't understand basic memory management without ARC, you have no chance of ever understanding the weak reference annotations that ARC requires in certain cases (e.g. to avoid retain loops).

The Todos example is handy, but not every app is a todos app, and there's plenty of Backbone functionality that is not exercised in this simple app. And when there isn't an existing example of what I'm trying to do close at hand, I find the

Do you really think Steve Jobs, a man obsessed with his legacy, would authorize a hatchet job?

> I would posit here that nothing I could do in best practice would have caught the offending line. bullshit. jslint or clojure compiler would have found this error at "compile time." coffeescript would have made it a non-issue.

Kind of strange that they only used the street name exclusively when referring to the drug. It's MDMA, BBC.

kinda banal if you ask me. it's two simple tools that do approximately the same thing. even grep vs ack would be more interesting. no offense to the authors of course, they did a great job in both cases.

thxu. Too bad it assumes knowledge of C++. I hope I can still follow it with my limited C++ knowledge.

I wish someone would publish this "tasteful subset of C++," kind of like Douglas Crockford's Javascript: The Good Parts. Then I could just learn that and skip all the crazy template shit.

I agree that polymorphism is the "right way" if there's already a class hierarchy established. If the superclass-subclass relationships aren't in place for you (worse yet, they're not set up how you want them to be set up), this hack accomp

Synthetic? Yes. Contrived? No. I've seen this sort of thing in my own and other people's Java code, where you know what class it is but not the most-derived subclass. That's how polymorphism happens.

You're mistaken. Animal animal = zoo.getAnimal(); Can I do animal.bark() or animal.fly() ? All I know is that it's an Animal of some sort, may or may not be an instance of the Dog or Bird subclasses of Animal.
