Hey, nice post. You've really nailed the stuff I was wondering (restart & log). I supposed that's how you should do it, but it's nice to see it in black and white...

Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you for also pointing out the broken link in #3, fixed. I'm surprised no one pointed that out already.

I will incorporate the "mdn" tip when searching as well.

Nice post Rob, thank you.

It looks like your "Twitter account" link under #3 is a 4-uh-oh-4 ;)

Oh, and on #4, if you put "mdn" in any of your google searches, you're sure to get THE best results first :)

Would be nice to hear opinions on how Mocha (http://visionmedia.github.com/... fares in this discussion.

Douglas Crockford and the Mozilla references are the best I have used. Will surely look at the other listed resources.

I think discussions about using frameworks like Ember.js and Backbone.js would be good too. How many developers do you see jumping on the bandwagon and using one of these frameworks for their UI? I can name a few who use Backbone.js for anything and everything. We need to guide those who can't judge for themselves how to pick the right tool for the job.

Read up on comments by DHH who has the same philosophy. See how they did Basecamp.next without heavy use of something like Bonebone.

We have seen it before, a new technology comes out and we must use it for everything.

I've got Joe Eames coming on to talk about testing Javascript next week. I think his focus is client side JS, but we can probably round out with server side JS and CI integration another time if we don't hit it then.

That's a good one too. Wish they'd start doing them again! Their backlog is worth a listen, though.

Hey Chuck, lots of ideas for topics:

- testing your JavaScript (client and server)
- when a heavy client library like ember.js, backbone, knockout, etc makes sense. Use cases when they should be used in conjunction with something like Rails or Django.
- best practices
- practical patterns

Glad you're enjoying the (Javascript Jabber) show. Do you have any suggestions for future topics?

I love recording them and those guys have me levelling up in JS programming faster than you would believe.

Dear Sir,

Good day,

I have been regularly buying phones for
the officials of my company.

About a week back I
purchased Apple I Phone 4 S 16 GB and on a very first day realized that the
battery last only for 2 hours, I have taken the phone to the Tressor
system, Chakkarpur, Gurgaon the authorized service center of Apple and
understand that this problem is faced by number of other users and it will take
them 3 - 4 days for replacement. I will like to highlight following:

a. The company like Apple selling one of the
most expensive phone in India has opened a service center in a village Chakkarpur
where to arrive is a great deal of time with no signage, Incidentally it took me 1 hour to locate the service center.

b. During my presence in the service center of 45 minutes, there were minimum 5
clients having similar problem, Incidentally some of them had
phone replaced 2 - 3 times as the battery does not last for more than 2 - 3
hours.

c. Apple is replacing the phone and needs 3 - 4
days, how they expect client to manage for these days as in I phone slim card
is used and it is again very cumbersome to get it changed to
the normal sim card.

I look forward for your comments.

Regards,
