At my part of the session, I talked about JavaScript's today and its future. And also I focused into my attending to Facebook and OpenSocial.
I'm wanting to see them. FBJS is early days, and OpenSocial is still version 0.5 and full of uncertainty at this time though.
I showed tiny demo application for OpenSocial:


The room we made a talk was soon fulled with about 100 audiences.


Thank you all very much for attending our session and see you soon again!

gugod and Ebisu.js

Kang-min Liu, a.k.a. gugod, came to Japan. After we took a lunch at Ginza district, he taught me about his current project Ebisu.js which a library implementing "custom events" handler in JavaScript.


We both Asian people talked in English. However, it's probably true that we could make communication smoother after we start to write JavaScript language. :-)

[JavaScript] variable "char" is not valid in Safari

I've faced a problem with Safari 2.0 which denies "char" as a name of JavaScript variable.


"char" is one of the future reserved words listed in ECMAScript Language Specification.
Safari 2.0 is strict for them. Safari 3.0 and other major browsers are not so however...
