Most common JavaScript mistakes - Paul Boag grilled me for the Boagworld Podcast
One of the biggest podcasts in the UK when it comes to web development and web design is Paul Boag’s Boagworld.com. Every week Paul talks about what’s hot and happening in the development world and mixes it with good humour and believable insights.
This week’s podcast is entitled “Hiring” but ends with an interview Paul did with me over Skype on Valentine’s. If you listen to it, you’ll hear that I did have a cold and it was a long day, and if you read the transcript, you’ll see that both Paul and me “um…” a lot.
Nevertheless Paul had some very good questions, and I hope I had interesting answers.

Great stuff. I particularly liked the bit where you discussed OOP in JavaScript and how it shouldn't be ignored because it's not necessary to write simple scripts. Not coming from an OOP background myself, it can be a little, uh, abstract at times, but I too think it's dangerous to throw the baby out with the bathwater and strictly favor a procedural approach.
