First in a series of talks from Douglas Crockford about the JavaScript language. These talks cover the JavaScript language, from the history, the language, advanced features, platforms, standards and programming style. Talks about inheritance, using functions to build objects, closures, as well as the basic JavaScript syntax. Also covers code conventions. JavaScript is a language that requires discipline.

JSLint is actually a JavaScript parser written in JavaScript
