I’m sad to say that due to a personal matter, I’ve had to bow out of speaking at this year’s Mobilism conference. You might have seen PPK’s announcement to that effect, and I’m definitely disappointed I’ll miss the event.

Because let’s be honest: my absence isn’t going to do a damned thing to diminish how amazing this conference is going to be. Seriously, look at this lineup. Look at it. Learning from the likes of Scott Jenson, Stephen Hay, Jake Archibald, Lyza Gardner, and Jason Grigsby is too good to be true, and in Amsterdam? And if you haven’t already, watch Jeremy Keith’s epic mobile browser panel from last year, a performance he’s repeating again in May.

Yeah okay I’m officially depressed all over again about missing it.

Seriously though: while I won’t be there, you can be. If you haven’t already, go register for Mobilism 2012 in May. You’ll have one hell of a time.

The following article, written by John-David Dalton and yours truly, was published as part of the Performance Calendar series in 2010.

As a follow-up to the post documenting a few popular HTML element + attribute notations, here’s a similar one about JavaScript.

Fun fact: var foo = { H̹̙̦̮͉̩̗̗ͧ̇̏̊̾Eͨ͆͒̆ͮ̃͏̷̮̣̫̤̣Cͯ̂͐͏̨̛͔̦̟͈̻O̜͎͍͙͚̬̝̣̽ͮ͐͗̀ͤ̍̀͢M̴̡̲̭͍͇̼̟̯̦̉̒͠Ḛ̛̙̞̪̗ͥͤͩ̾͑̔͐ͅṮ̴̷̷̗̼͍̿̿̓̽͐H̙̙̔̄͜: 42 }; is valid JavaScript. It may not be immediately obvious, but the real surprise here is that the Cthulhu-esque property name is not surrounded by quotes. Intrigued by this, and having written about the similar topic of JavaScript identifiers before, I decided to look into valid property names in JavaScript. When do they need to be quoted? When can the quotes be omitted? And in which cases can dot notation be used instead of bracket notation to get or set a property based on its name?

The way JavaScript handles Unicode is… surprising, to say the least. This write-up explains the pain points associated with Unicode in JavaScript, provides solutions for common problems, and explains how the ECMAScript 6 standard improves the situation.

ES2018 adds support for Unicode property escapes of the form p{…} and P{…} to JavaScript regular expressions. This article explains what Unicode property escapes are, how they work, and why they’re useful.

Compared to using promises directly, not only can async and await make code more readable for developers — they enable some interesting optimizations in JavaScript engines, too! This write-up is about one such optimization involving stack traces for asynchronous code.

This article explains JavaScript engine optimization pipeline trade-offs, and describes how engines such as V8 speed up accesses to prototype properties. As a JavaScript developer, having a deeper understanding of how JavaScript engines work helps you reason about the performance characteristics of your code.
