Summary: Douglas Crockford provided a keynote talk for the 2007 Konfabulator Developer Day yesterday. His talk was entitled "Javascript: The Good Parts" — a topic of interest to Konfabulator hackers, much of whose work is done in JavaScript. This talk, now one of five talks from Douglas up on the YUI Theater, is the most reflective one we've covered. Douglas takes you on a journey through the lens of his own personal experience with JavaScript — a journey from deep skepticism about a flawed, half-baked scripting language in the earliest days to a growing affection for what is now a still-flawed but surprisingly beautiful and powerful language that has "radically changed my way of thinking about programming languages."
