This is a set of coding conventions and rules for use in JavaScript programming. It is inspired by the Sun document Code Conventions for the Java Programming Language.
Javascript is not a typed language so it should come as no surprise that there are no specific integer or floating-point types, no short, long, byte, double, or any other type other languages use to define numbers. All numbers in Javascript are 64bit (8 bytes) floating point numbers which yields an effective range of 5e-324 (negative) to 1.7976931348623157e+308 (positive).
This reference will cover Javascript numeric literals and objects as well as the default Javascript Operators which manipulate those numbers.
JavaScript, even more so than VB, has to be the Rodney Dangerfield of programming languages. I'm going to blow whatever credibility I might have by saying "I actually like programming in JavaScript." I'm actually building a lot of the screens in StoryTeller with JavaScript running in a WebBrowser control because I think I can do dynamic layout much faster with JavaScript than a WinForms screen. Besides, the point of a "side" project is to do stuff you don't get to do at your day job.
