Episode 16: A fictional JavaScript tale
This episode was done solo as I tell a fictional tale about five JavaScript kids (among others) that I wrote during a night I wasn’t able to get any sleep. It features a few of the greatest JavaScripters around as the characters including the following:
- Dustin Diaz (myself)
- Dan Webb
- John Resig
- Peter Paul
- Justin Palmer
- Copy Paste Boy (Billy)
