TODO: add appendix on standard inconsistencies; event argument vs. window.event, default event propagation, ability to extend basic objects, etc.

Notes and chapters for a work in progress. The basic outline (and intended reading order) for the book as it currently stands is:

Chapters

1. Programming
2. Forward
3. Functions
4. Closures
5. Events
6. Web Calls
7. Object Basics
8. Object Patterns

Appendices

1. Threads
2. Errata

First outline called for a 'Developing with JavaScript' chapter to round out the theory of the rest of the book. Upon reflection, I believe it works better to let this book be a book on theory and collect the practical/commercial discussion in a separate work.

Other possible topics: generators--via the yield and let keywords; sounds real interesting but want to get feel for length of book--want to keep it nice and approachable

Certainly out of scope, but also potentially interesting is tail recursion. Interested to investigate it on my own.
