InfoQ: JavaScript Test Driven Development with JsUnit and JSMock
http://www.infoq.com/articles/javascript-tdd

at InfoQ
This article is a crash course in writing maintainable JavaScript. We'll add features to a running example by iteratively following a simple principle: write a unit test, make it pass. Each test will serve as a quality feedback loop, creating both a safety net and an executable form of documentation for anyone who wants to change the production code. By starting each feature with a simple failing test we ensure that all features are tested. We avoid the cost of rewriting code to test it later. This is particularly valuable given the fact that JavaScript developers have so much rope to hang themselves with - consider how much global mutable state there is between the DOM API and the language itself.

InfoQ: Persistent Data Structures and Managed References

Persistent Data Structures and Managed References
Rich Hickey
good overview of concurrent data structures, refs and STM in Clojure
Rich Hickey is my new favourite presenter. The bloke is awesome (well except for the mullet you can see in this video)! In this video he discusses time as it relates to variable state, briefly applying it to clojure. What makes it great is his practical focus and his use of a really simple example to get across the point.

Joe Armstrong and Simon Peyton Jones discuss Erlang and Haskell
Interesting video where Joe Armstrong and Simon Peyton Jones engage in some friendly banter about functional programming and Erlang vs Haskell.
InfoQ: Are You a Software Architect?
http://www.infoq.com/articles/brown-are-you-a-software-architect
"The line between software development and software architecture is a tricky one. Some people will tell you that it doesn't exist and that architecture is simply an extension of the design process undertaken by developers. Others will make out it's a massive gaping chasm that can only be crossed by lofty developers who believe you must always abstract your abstractions and not get bogged down by those pesky implementation details. As always, there's a pragmatic balance somewhere in the middle, but it does raise the interesting question of how you move from one to the other." -- Simon Brown
