Javascript is a weird language. Great but weird. Take functions for example. You cannot only pass any type of arguments, you can also pass any number of arguments. This may be quite disturbing, especially for Java developers. Recently I had a discussion with a Java developer who complained about missing code assistance in Javascript, by which he meant no hint about the type of an argument.

The Google App Engine (GAE) is a wonderful playground for your apps, especially when you have no server at hand. It gives you everything you need for free, up to a certain limit. As I happened to be a Java developer it became really interesting when the GAE started supporting Java. You have to register for a GAE account and then apply for Java to be activated. There is a small waiting time but there still seem to be open slots.

URL handling is one of the tasks you have to do from time to time in PHP. Sometimes you have to do it because you want to record the referral sites, other times because you want to write your own spider or just because you want to retrieve your current URL.
