    We cannot see what she is doing on the screen and that makes this talk meaningless obviously. Could you please somehow upload it so we can see while watching her.

    exactly, they can move the camera on the screen rather than on her face when she is showing stuff apart from the PPT.

    I am not sure the ajax code is still working by putting the ajax call into the object.
    I would rather put alert(..) method in the callback function, then it will guarantee to get the correct value.

    What is a stupid video? I want to see the slides, but the operator can not look away from the girl. Yes, she is not ugly, but more importantly the slides!

    Unfortunately the work Sara is doing on her computer is not shared. Stopped watching half way through. To bad as its a wonderful topic.

    You're right - this is mistake. Alert should be passed in callback function.

  • Mistakes and misconceptions

    Almost every slide that we can see contains at least two bad practices or even mistakes in javascript.
    I would not recommend it for ANYONE who is learning JS.

    Actually, the presenter references on-screen code that was not included in the presentation slides. I'm checking now to see if we can get the code examples from Sara.
