Fully Understanding the this Keyword | Nettuts+
This tutorial from Cody Lindley's "JavaScript Enlightenment" explains how the `this` keyword works in JavaScript by linking functions to the objects they operate on, and how its value is determined by the context in which a function is called at runtime. It covers common scenarios including method calls on objects, nested functions (where `this` unexpectedly refers to the global window object in pre-ES5 code), and how to override `this` using `call()` and `apply()` methods or the `new` keyword in constructor functions. The guide also demonstrates how `this` behaves differently in prototype methods, where it refers to the specific instance invoking the method rather than the global scope.

Can Your Programming Language Do This? - Joel on Software
This essay explains how first-class functions—the ability to pass functions as arguments and create anonymous functions inline—enable powerful abstractions like map and reduce that can dramatically improve code reusability and scalability. The author traces how this capability allows optimization of common patterns (iterating through arrays, combining values) to happen once in well-written library code, then benefits all applications using those libraries, and demonstrates how this principle underlies Google's MapReduce algorithm that powers massive parallel computation across thousands of servers. Languages like JavaScript, Lisp, and modern functional programming environments support this naturally, while older languages like Java force awkward workarounds like functors, limiting the abstractions developers can discover.

This conversation discusses the trade-offs between nested set models and materialized path approaches for storing hierarchical data in relational databases. Commenters argue that materialized paths—storing the full path to each node as a denormalized column—offer simpler implementation and cheaper insert/delete operations than nested sets, though they require updating all descendant paths when moving subtrees and may have performance limitations with very large datasets. The discussion also touches on alternative approaches like PostgreSQL's native ltree type and adjacency lists, with general consensus that different tree storage methods suit different use cases and that no single approach solves all hierarchical data problems optimally.

What’s The Best Date Format? » SitePoint
ISO 8601 format in UTC (2011-03-21T00:18:56Z) is the optimal standard for storing and comparing dates programmatically because it's sortable, unambiguous, compatible with JavaScript's Date constructor, and works across systems without timezone complications. Rather than storing multiple timezone versions, all timestamps should be recorded in UTC on the server and converted to local time only when displaying to users, maintaining a single reference point for comparisons while preserving information needed for internationalization. The article provides practical implementation examples in PHP using `gmdate('Y-m-dTH:i:sZ')` and JavaScript methods for generating and formatting timestamps consistently across client-server applications.
How to embed HTML5 into a native Mac OSX app - Lost Decade Games Blog
This tutorial explains how to embed an HTML5 web application into a Mac OS X desktop app using Xcode and WebKit, allowing developers to reuse the same HTML5 codebase across multiple platforms. The author walks through creating a new Cocoa application project, adding the WebKit framework, importing HTML files as resources, and configuring the application delegate to load and display the HTML content in a WebView. The approach enabled the creators of Onslaught! Arena to launch their Chrome Web Store game on the Mac App Store without modifying the source code.
