August 07, 2016 PBS 19 of x - Solving JavaScript Challenges
Bart Busschots got the crazy idea that we should do this episode as a video so that he could solve the JavaScript challenges from PBS 19 real time and talk through it as he solved them. I figured it would be mean to drop a giant video into your feed, so this is actually just the audio which is cool too, but you can go watch the video on podfeet.com.

July 09, 2016 PBS 18 of x - JavaScript Miscellany
In this episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots takes us through the final stages of learning JavaScript within the playground. Now that we know about objects, we need to re-visit the arguments object present in every JavaScript function. We need to take a detailed look at the typeof operator, and we need to look at some built-in objects and functions JavaScript provides. We also need to look at how JavaScript handles regular expressions, and finally, we need to introduce the concept of exception handling.

June 11, 2016 PBS 16 of x - JavaScript Callbacks
In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots takes our understanding of functions to the next level. The techniques we encounter today would be considered advanced techniques in most other languages, and you could spend years developing in Java and never encounter an anonymous function. However, because of how JavaScript is integrated into HTML documents, these techniques are considered fundamental in JavaScript, and anonymous functions are a dime a dozen! Before we delve into anonymous functions, we’ll start by taking a deeper look at how JavaScript deals with function arguments.
