Advanced JavaScript
Recently I had the chance to see how deep the rabbit-hole goes when it comes to JavaScript.
Since my project should not involve any JavaScript thirdparties. I had to be creative
and sometimes yeah you're not going to believe it, I even had to google about it.
When we are talking about JavaScript the pain is even bigger because we have to be able to write
a cross browser code. In that point almost any average sane developer will pull out his best colorful

I'm not going to cover the entire JavaScript language - this is not the case, I'm not writing a book.
I'm just going to put on the table some areas which are not trivial to the common JavaScript developer.
Agenda:
-
Intro
-
Data Object
-
Function Constructor

Flex Automation Testing
Intro
I had the chance to straggle with Flex automation testing and Mercury QTP tool here it comes...
Today is an ExtJS AJAX Request error day

(maybe writing a new bean?)
