READ MOREWhen I was learning JavaScript, I found I was being tripped up by a whole bunch of invalid assumptions. I was being lulled into a false sense of security by the very familiarity of the C-like structures and syntax. I was also being tripped up by the parts of JavaScript which are just plain awful and that should be avoided at all costs. Despite these bad parts of JavaScript, the main problem was: it's got the word Java in the name, so it must work like Java, and since Java and C# are very close, it must work like C#. Right? Right!

Heh, it generates a constantly generating playlist of random songs, and that gave me an idea for a regular blog post: Party Shuffle Friday. Mark Chu-Carroll on Good Math, Bad Math does a similar thing, so I'm going to shamelessly plagiarize his idea and give it a new name. […]
