Best developer video of the year

May 27, 2007

Normally, I don’t dedicate an entire post to a remote link, but this is no normal case!

Douglas Crockford, whom I’ve never heard of before, did a speak recently at the 2007 FrontEnd Engineering Summit about code quality and the kind folk at Yahoo recorded it for everyone to see.

It’s a long video but it is worth watching it from start to finish. He has a huge insight into the history of software development and makes some really good analogies that help to understand what he talks about.

If you only watch one video this year, then this video should be the one.

Check out Douglas Crockford on code quality.

Aditya, I don't think there is a download link. It's a part of the Yahoo Theater. If I find it, I will post it here.
