Domains associated with Cody Lindley

Cody Lindley is a client-side/JavaScript developer (aka front-end engineer) and recovering Flash developer. He has an extensive background working professionally (18+ years) with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, and client-side performance techniques as it pertains to web development. If he is not wielding client-side code he is likely toying with interface/interaction design, PHP, MVC frameworks, iPhone development, jQuery, Dojo, or authoring material and speaking at various conferences. When not sitting in front of a computer, it's a sure bet he is hanging out with his wife & kids in Meridian, Idaho, training for triathlons, skiing, mountain biking, road biking, alpine climbing, reading, watching movies, or debating the rational evidence for a Christian worldview.

This book is not about JavaScript design patterns or implementing the object-oriented paradigm in JavaScript. It was not written to distinguish the good features of the JavaScript language from the bad. It is not meant to be a complete reference guide. It is not targeted at those new to programming or those completely new to JavaScript. And it is not a cookbook of JavaScript recipes. All of these books have already been written. It was my intention to author a book that would give the reader an accurate JavaScript worldview through an examination of the native JavaScript objects and supporting nuances (scope, closures, inheritance, etc.). I intended this book to be an digestible summary of the ECMA 3 specification, specifically focused on the nature of objects in JavaScript. If you are a designer or developer who has only used JavaScript libraries to write introductory JavaScript programs, it's my hope that the material in this book will transform you from a JavaScript library developer into a JavaScript developer.
