Before we begin, let’s get to know the protagonists of this article, world-class JavaScript experts: Douglas Crockford, John Resig, Peter-Paul Koch, and Nicolas C. Zakas. The name may seem unfamiliar, but if you are familiar with JavaScript, you will not be unfamiliar with their works.
Douglas Crockford : Douglas Crockford is the most well-known authority in the JavaScript development community. He is the father of JSON , JSLint , JSMin and ADSafe . He is the author of "JavaScript: The Good Parts" (English version, Chinese version). Brendan Eich, the inventor of JavaScript, said that he is "Yoda of lambda programming and JavaScript (spiritual leader of lambda programming and JavaScript)." He also serves on ECMA's JavaScript 2.0 Technical Committee (TC39). His personal website and blog are http://www.crockford.com/ and http://profiles.yahoo.com/blog/GSBHPXZFNRM2QRAP3PXNGFMFVU .
