Mit JavaScript – Das umfassende Referenzwerk bringt O’Reilly die lang erwartete, überarbeitete Fassung des inoffiziellen JavaScript-Standardwerkes. Im Vergleich zur zweiten Auflage, die vor rund fünf Jahren erschienen ist, bietet das vorliegende Werk vor allem Aktualisierungen im Bereich Document Object Modell (DOM) und dem momentanen Hype-Thema „Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX)“. Mit seinem Umfang von 1100 Seiten trägt das Werk mit Recht den Untertitel Das umfassende Referenzwerk und kann auch weiterhin dank hoher Qualität als Standardwerk auf dem Gebiet JavaScript gehandelt werden.

openKE nominated for Cisco Web2.0 Award
I’m proud to announce that my project openKE.org is one of 5 nominated finalists of the Cisco Web2.0 Award. The official presentation of the winning project will be on June the 26th as part of the Cisco Expo event.To be honest I was so very surprised that my project has been nominated cause it’s the only private project of the 5 finalists. I had no budget (still have none!), no idea where the dev process will lead me to, but finally I think the outcome is an unique and useful product.
LeCuck strikes again
According to the rumor reporter an a couple of Monkey Island Fanpages LucasArts is working on the 5th part of everyones favorite adventure game. The 3 pics showing some concept art, also been leaked to WorldofMI by someone who’s actually involved in the project. After the big success of sam&max session 1 I think it’s the best moment for LucasArts to bring out MI5. Hopefully they try harder than in part 4.

Boys need (new) Toys
Last week was the week of the new gadgets for me. I changed my workplace at home from two 19 inches monitors standing side by side to a 22 inches widescreen monitor. Cause of this change I have now this Samsung monitor to give away for about 250€.
Apart form the new monitor I ordered after 4 years with the same mobile phone number a new one combined with the cool W950i smart phone . The new mob is really easy to handle and has an awesome set of features:
– 4gb internal memory for a real big punch of music
– Symbian UIQ operating system (which is unfortunately sometimes very latently)
– Opera mobile Browser Platform which supports JavaScript and AJAX (Yeaah dude, my moajax lib will be out soon)
– Walkman music player
– touch screen
– and many more…..the truth about user generated content
what user generated content ist really about:
The JavaScript Bible
Cause I have the pleasure to intensively work with javascript since two month I decided to order the brand new german translation of the 5th revised edition of O’reilly’s bestseller “Javascript – the definitive guide” for my next book review. And then finally yesterday the master piece arrived. I just made a quick look through and read the blurb and the index but I was really surprised of what the authors changed since the last edition. Of course there’s now a whole chapter on ajax and the xmlhttprequest object and many more interesting improvements. What I like most is that fact that it’s now a hard copy book. So, read the full book review in a few weeks here!
