    Note: Most of my answers are lead ins to the actual understanding and as such are typically incorrect ;)

    @niceindividual
    duly noted
    bind ftw

    @marshallswain I believe there is a JavaDOM or JDOM(I forget which is the community accepted implementation)
    I do agree with Justin, I feel like I’ve seen a .NET implementation as well
    Matt Heinrich
    @niceindividual
    Is it Razor?
    (the .NET implementation)
    sweatercomeback
    @sweatercomeback
    Razor is a templating engine
    Matt Heinrich
    @niceindividual
    oh yeah that's right.
    sweatercomeback
    @sweatercomeback
    In .NET projects I use System.Xml.XmlDocument to do DOM work (but it's kind of painful)
    Matt Heinrich
    @niceindividual
    @sweatercomeback sounds gross
    Matt Heinrich
    @niceindividual
    is that called instantiation?
    Alexis Abril
    @alexisabril
    This is referring mostly to when you hear the phrase, methods being created “on the fly"
    Instantiation refers to when you create a “new” object or more concisely a new instance of a defined entity(a class in a class-based language, such as Java)

    @niceindividual
    gotcha
    thanks! was wondering what that was
    Alexis Abril
    @alexisabril
    np :)
    @niceindividual be sure to attend the prototype based inheritance topics in the coming weeks as we discuss inheritance, instantiation and prototypes in depth
    Matt Heinrich
    @niceindividual
    yeah I've blocked off my calendar every wednesday

    exactly what I need-- long term self-taught front-end dev/designer with weak JS skills

    Experience Level: Written a few AngularJS web apps that are currently in production.
    Want to learn: I don't exactly know yet. The callbacks and promises generally throw my brain in a loop.

    I'm the webmaster and IT director at a non-profit... I maintain a website built by third party that uses Angular.js and I've struggled to understand the relationship between the CMS and Angular. I'd like to be able to learn enough about JS to write functions from scratch instead of just bug hunting... and eventually (maybe) try out something like Node

    Advantages of JS over jQuery?

    your q's
    xp: years of markup and design, little programming till a couple months ago
    wantToLearn: practical vanilla JS and DOM interaction, also underpinnings of frameworks
    Alexis Abril
    @alexisabril
    @owendismuke That’s a great topic! Async execution, why we have the promise pattern, etc is something we can definitely put on the schedule
    Matt Heinrich
    @niceindividual
    thanks :-)

    This is awesome. I'm a beginner. I'm happy you guys are doing this. Prototypes usually confuse me. I'm looking forward to that lecture.

    @Madelene
    Thank you guys for doing this! I am going to be in a web development bootcamp this fall and want to learn as much as possible beforehand :)

    @niceindividual
    I get the basics but don't get the concepts... so yeah I need the CS stuff. thanks.

    I'm quite familiar with javascript basics and can find myself around in not so complex apps. Unfortunately I started with jQuery and I'm sometimes struggling with how things work behind the scenes, which prevents me to crack some cases. I think things like === vs == and specific cases which, as you said, are difficult to get figured out from just a google search, would be very helpful for solid foundation.

    @tommyokeefe
    @alexisabril @owendismuke - I really want to learn more about promises as well. I get it, but I don't really get it.
    Alexis Abril
    @alexisabril
    @sonnyboothwebdesign Be sure to attend the jquery specific talks in our series! We actually talk about how jquery manipulates the DOM, subsequently how you can manipulate the DOM yourself using native JS methods

    really good at making spaghetti code, want to learn how to better keep myself DRY and cement more of this in my head

    Hi, I know JS a bit, to manage to write functions and make it work on DOM. I don't know much about promises, closures...
    Alexis Abril
    @alexisabril
    @gebidesign We actually discuss quite a few topics in terms of how memory is handled, even a state machine example showing == vs ===
    Alexis Villegas Torres
    @Alexisvt
    Do you have plans to talk about node.js?
    Zurc
    @Zurc
    Question: Which ECMAScript are you going to teach us?

    Experience Level: I focused on programming during grad school, coming from a design background. Focuses heavily on Creative Code using processing and openFrameworks(C++). Did my thesis project on Javascript http://codemath.org Wanna Learn: Use JS a prototyping tool and create more experiential apps. Would like to get more accustomed to node.js to create quick environments have things talk to each both digital and physical
