Testing out the demand for a community site focusing on Javascript developers. When I was investigating the Javascript Magazine idea (still in the works - got some great contributors potentially lined up!) I realized that Javascript is everywhere, yet nowhere. There are few, if any, Javascript user groups or similar resources out there. [...]

Apollo/Silverlight/JavaFX all are aiming at reinventing in-browser development.
Yahoo Pipes, Ning, Coghead and some other platforms are giving us new ways to think about web-based development.

I was using the what-I-thought-was-the-standard JSON javascript library and ran in to a weird annoyance. The toJSONString() method will take any arbitrary object or array and serialize the entire thing. However, the parseJSON() method won’t unserialize recursively. I ended up with values in my object which were just serialized JSON strings, which I needed to [...]
