a new Javascript article published on DevX.com


I have published a new article on the programming portal DevX.com , related to Javascript. Here is the synopsis for the article: “Characterized by some dubious design decisions, ambiguous syntax rules, and a troubled history, JavaScript could have been dismissed as a second-class scripting language useful only for animating web pages. However, JavaScript has matured into one of the most ubiquitous and pervasive programming languages today, currently powering complex and highly interactive web applications. With JavaScript so widely distributed and so closely tied to the user experience, JavaScript skills are mandatory if you develop web applications nowadays”.

Borg 2.0 is out!

As you may see from the completely new look’n’feel for the website, a new version of the Borg CMS has been released! This is a major rewrite of the Borg framework that preserves all the existing functionality and adds a lot of new features. A detailed post about the new features will arrive soon, along with the instructions to download the source code from the new SVN repository.

Hi there

The name is Riccardo Govoni. I’m a Software Engineer working in Google London. I have a passion for data visualizations, data mining, theoretical physics, xkcd, having lots of vi (or emacs, depending on the mood) buffers on screen and coding in general. Learn more about me.

Additional Resources

Have a look at the site blog, the Site map or a selection of some of the projects I work on (mostly in my spare time, likely to be out of date).
