+new Date(); // => 1256148807292

This is why it’s said that you learn one language you’ve learnt them all.

Having said that, more sources (such as this piece) is desperately needed, as there’s some things about javascript itself I didn’t know.

For example, it supports this

condition?expression1:expression2

It’s not always easy to find out what a language can/cant do, especially when pressed for time when a simple if/else does the same job.

I noticed you twittering about this book earlier today and i guess it inspired this post 🙂 i’ll make sure i get my hands on it after this recommendation.

I highly recommend this book though: Wrox – Professional JavaScript For Web Developers 2nd Edition. I urge you to read it. It changed the way I look at Javascript.
