The second in a several-part series on JavaScript functions, taking you from first principles to advanced concepts. In this video, Eric describes how function names are just like other JavaScript variables: they’re variable names pointing to function values.

more please!
Soon!
Loved it, can’t wait 🙂
Beautiful. Perfect. And taught in a way that no book – even a Head First book – can convey quite as well. I agree with the others – more, please, and thank you.
That was very well explained, can’t wait to see the rest of the series.
Great video. I have had the HTML 5 book for a few months. I just started reading it a couple of days ago. I really like the book.
I just asked for a copy of Michael Morrison’s Headfirst JavaScript as a birthday present
You just assigned the nameless function to a variable.
You just blew my mind 😀
You know, I can’t find this series on YouTube.
Hi Leke, we aren’t posting these on YouTube, just wickedlysmart.com! Thanks.
Not to be a stickler here, and I could be totally wrong, but at 3:29 you say,”In this case we have an argument of ‘weight’ we pass the parameter of ’15’ ..”
Did you mean the other way around? A -parameter- of ‘weight’ we pass the -argument- of ’15’ ?
I’m using page 120 of HF HTML5 for reference.
Great video by the way.
Yes, it’s backwards! Which is a little embarrassing, given that we made that point in HF HTML5! 😉
You are painfully correct. We’ve been meaning to go edit this but haven’t gotten to it. Given our lecture on page 120 it’s even more embarassing ;(
I got so nervous after I posted that. I checked the errata at the o’reily forums and didn’t find anything there and then consulted some of my javascript colleagues; all confirmed what you replied.
No worries at all! The community absolves you, as long as you hire me 😉
I’ll gladly make the coffee and ‘gopher’ this and that.
