This is a channel primarily for general commentary about JavaScript. If you’re looking for tips, techniques and code see the sister sites. I’ve been programming in Javascript for over a decade and was an early advocate of it being a powerful object-oriented language. The Free Dynamic Object Model(FreeDOM) I implemented was the first object-oriented framework for Javascript as far as I know. CNET published two articles I wrote on FreeDOM:
- FreeDOM II: Javascripting the W3C DOM(1999) - CNET Builder
- FreeDOM: A Javascript Framework(1998) - CNET Builder
In the mid-90’s I made numerous appearances at major web conferences speaking and conducting workshops about Javascript. In concert with FreeDOM, I developed an agent framework for Javascript called Scriptable Intelligent Agents(SIA) - Robin’s Nest For Writers has a nice review of a presentation I made in New Orleans on SIA in 1997. FreeDOM and SIA together had all of the core elements of today’s AJAX. FreeDOM was actually an adaptation of a Smalltalk framework I’d implemented and has since merged back into what’s called Morphtron.
