Most common JavaScript mistakes – Paul Boag grilled me for the Boagworld Podcast

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 at 4:32 pm

One of the biggest podcasts in the UK when it comes to web development and web design is Paul Boag’s Boagworld.com. Every week Paul talks about what’s hot and happening in the development world and mixes it with good humour and believable insights.

This week’s podcast is entitled “Hiring” but ends with an interview Paul did with me over Skype on Valentine’s. If you listen to it, you’ll hear that I did have a cold and it was a long day, and if you read the transcript, you’ll see that both Paul and me “um…” a lot.

Nevertheless Paul had some very good questions, and I hope I had interesting answers.
