E-Research at Harvard University Home Every James Bond 007 Car Ranked Sure, you know all about James Bond’s enduring affinity for Aston Martins and Lotuses that are just as lovely under water as they are on the road. And if you’re a hardcore aficionado, you likely know that 007’s first cars were actually old Bentleys, back in the days before Sean Connery gave a face to MI6’s top man. It should go without saying that a scientific ranking of all of Bond’s cars is absolutely impossible—and besides that, it’s boring—so what follows is a thoroughly subjective list of every significant car that Bond drove, rode in, chased, or was chased by. And, as all our rankings tend to be on this site, it is correct. 39. Renault 11 Taxi Movie:A View to a Kill It’s a run-of-the-mill Parisian taxi that Bond commandeered at the foot of the Eiffel Tower to track down parachuting baddies. 38. Movie:For Your Eyes Only Depending on how it’s optioned out, the 2CV has between nine and 29 hp. 37. Movie: Die Another Day This gorgeous Fairlane is what passes for a fast car in Cuba. 36.
WorldImages JavaScript: A Survey of the Language Douglas Crockford www.crockford.com © 2002 Douglas Crockford This document is an introduction to the JavaScript Programming Language for professional programmers. It is a small language, so if you are familiar with other languages, then this won't be too demanding. JavaScript is not Java. They are two very different languages. JavaScript is a regular language which won't take much time to learn. When JavaScript was first introduced, I dismissed it as being not worth my attention. JavaScript was developed by Brendan Eich at Netscape as the in-page scripting language for Navigator 2. This document describes ECMAScript Edition 3 (aka JavaScript 1.5). JavaScript contains a small set of data types. Boolean has two values: true and false. Number is 64-bit floating point, similar to Java's double and Double. String is a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters. 'This is a string.' "Isn't this a string? 'A' // The character A "" // An empty string var s = "Hello World!" Objects var myHashtable = {};

World Digital Library JavaScript: The World's Most Misunderstood Programming Language Douglas Crockford www.crockford.com JavaScript, aka Mocha, aka LiveScript, aka JScript, aka ECMAScript, is one of the world's most popular programming languages. Virtually every personal computer in the world has at least one JavaScript interpreter installed on it and in active use. JavaScript's popularity is due entirely to its role as the scripting language of the WWW. Despite its popularity, few know that JavaScript is a very nice dynamic object-oriented general-purpose programming language. How can this be a secret? The Name The Java- prefix suggests that JavaScript is somehow related to Java, that it is a subset or less capable version of Java. JavaScript has a syntactic similarity to Java, much as Java has to C. JavaScript was not developed at Sun Microsystems, the home of Java. The -Script suffix suggests that it is not a real programming language, that a scripting language is less than a programming language.

Harvard Art Museums / Research Centers The Archives collects, organizes, and preserves the institution’s historical documents and makes them available to students, scholars, and interested members of the international art community. Its mission is to document and promote knowledge and appreciation of the Art Museums’ history, programs, and goals, and the professional and personal accomplishments of its principals. Archival materials, crucial to the Art Museums’ institutional memory, mandate, and mission, supply a vital complementary narrative to the works of art themselves, recording their acquisition, history, and use. Holdings include significant papers of individuals and groups associated with the Art Museums’ history, as well as comprehensive materials on the Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, and Arthur M. Sackler museums, which integrated to form the Harvard University Art Museums (now the Harvard Art Museums) in 1983.
Library 2.0 - the future of libraries in the digital age Exploring JavaScript for-in loops | JavaScript, JavaScript The for-in loop is the only cross-browser technique for iterating the properties of generic objects. There’s a bunch of literature about the dangers of using for-in to iterate arrays and when to apply the hasOwnProperty filter, but beyond that, documentation of this ubiquitous construct is surprisingly patchy. This article attempts to fill some gaps, I hope its useful. The Basics The ES 5 specification details two distinct syntaxes for the for-in statement: 1. for (var variable in objectExpression) {statement} This is the familiar format. The variable can optionally be defined outside of the for-in production. Here’s another example. Note that as with all property names, the indexes in the above example are actually strings – so we cannot do a simple “truthy” test on line 5. 2. for (LeftHandSideExpression in objectExpression) {statement} This interesting syntax is seldom documented (MDC gives it no mention). Which properties are iterated? One of these properties is [[Enumerable]]. Yes. 1.
University - Library Princeton University Library, one of the world’s most distinguished research libraries, consists of the Harvey S. Firestone Memorial Library and nine buildings across campus. The library's collections include more than 7 million books, 6 million microforms, 49,000 linear feet of manuscripts, and impressive holdings of rare books, prints, archives and other material that require special handling. The library's extensive electronic resources include databases and journals, statistical packages, images and digital maps. Exhibitions from the library's rich collections are free and open to the general public.
