I heard a rumor that Douglas Crockford is writing a book on JavaScript  
for the Pragmatic Programmers!

That’s AWESOME!

Hmm. I suspect that’s just a rumor.

We do have a cool new Beta book on the Prototype and [script.aculo.us](http://script.aculo.us)  
libraries, and a great new book in print on how to design and  
architect applications to survive the vagaries of the real world  
(“Release It!”), but nothing from Mr. Crockford.

kids still give me a run for my money.
