		<description><![CDATA[Javascript, unlike most object-oriented programming languages, does not have the concept of Classes. Instead, Javascript uses a model in which objects are created, cloned, and enhanced by creating copies of the objects (it's loosely based on the Prototype pattern). There is a lot of power in this Prototypal system and people like Douglas Crockford have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I've been asked several times for my opinion on the Google Web Toolkit (GWT)  and I've given much the same response each time. Now, it's easier to consolidate my thoughts and share them with everyone via my blog.  I want to preface this post by stating, as I always do, that I have not [...]]]></description>

I've actually had a few questions come up at the office lately about how they work, so I figured turning it into a blog post might not be a bad idea. It's an important concept in Javascript many [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A quick Javascript tip that I pass along in a lot of code reviews is to make use of an options object as a hash to pass a large number of parameters to a function without writing each one individually.  For example:
function doSomething(id, someParameter, anArgument, optionC){ };
vs.
function doSomething(id, options){ };
By encapsulating the 3 additional parameters [...]]]></description>
