About
This blog is dedicated to the understanding of JavaScript and its many popular frameworks. Expect one in depth analysis article each week (usually Friday or Saturday), followed by another short article (or two) addressing minor JavaScript issues and/or peeves of mine. Please leave comments, especially questions, and I will respond to them as quickly as I can.
My name is Matt Snider and I am a Web Application Developer, specializing in client-side design and architecture. I am an advocate of desktop-like Web Application design and believe this is the future of web design. Over the last two years there has been a client-side framework explosion, accelerated by the advent of AJAX. As a result the web is overloaded with erroneous, contradictory, and just plain wrong information about JavaScript and the many frameworks that are widely used. My mission is to discuss JavaScript language issues and analyze the frameworks (explaining the pros/cons of each from a technical standpoint).
Okay you cool people of Mint;
I want in! I so need help with where my money goes…
More importantly, I can help spread the word. My friends range from Ivy League business school professors, first time parents, Hawaiian scuba instructors, law students, broke artists, to my identity theft stricken mother. In the past few months, I’ve hit most of the web 2.0 financial management sites with most of my curiosity has been waiting for Mint. Its sort of like reading the lid of the local pizza box, “You’ve tried all the rest, now try the BEST!” Please, please, please active an account for me.
My latest tactic will be to send this request every week.
Your soon to be faithful advocacy member,
Brian

Hi Matt,
Just wanted to introduce myself, I found your site through Google Reader and wanted to let you know that I’ve added you to my blogroll. I’m new to this and currently working on my blog design, so it’s not much to look at now, but I wanted to let you know that I’m reading and may be commenting on your articles at my site.

Awesome blog man. Great info and resources. Hope you’re doing well. I came across your resume and I believe you’re an excellent fit for an opportunity I’m representing. Were helping a very exciting startup company in Palo Alto that is looking to develop a next-generation advertising platform, and they need someone to come in and own their front end engineering. Its a web 2.0 Company Utilizing the technologies that you seem to dominate. They have great funding. If you’d be open to explore a situation that might be significantly better than what you’re doing right now, give me a call or email me back so I can go over some of the details with you. Hope you’re having a wonderful day and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you
