InfoQ Homepage Presentations JavaScript: Measuring Performance, Games, and Distributed Testing

John Resig touches three JavaScript issues: performance measuring – calling getTime() or using a browser extension like Firebug, plus performing complexity analysis -, creating games – should be multiplayer, hard to cheat, available on all devices, and addictive –, and performing distributed testing to evaluate how a program or game works in a real set.

John Resig is a JavaScript developer and the creator of the jQuery JavaScript library. He currently works for the Mozilla Corporation where he works as a JavaScript Evangelist. He's also the creator of a number of other popular JavaScript projects including Processing.js and Env.js. He's the author of the book 'Pro JavaScript Techniques' and the upcoming 'Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja'.
