- - > Webmonkey / Advanced JavaScript Tutorial

Introducing five days of Advanced JavaScript! This follow-up to Thau's
oh-so beloved JavaScript Tutorial, which ran earlier this year,
transforms you from dabbler to master as you tackle the more heady
topics of JavaScript, like if-then-else statements, cookies, and
cross-browser compatibility.

Advanced JavaScript - Day 1

In our previous JavaScript Tutorial, Thau taught you the basics. Now he
picks up where he left off, starting with the meaning of var and
if-then-else statements. He also tells you what's coming up in the next
four days.

Advanced JavaScript - Day 2

Let Thau show you how to make cookies, and learn fancy string handling
and associative arrays along the way.

Advanced JavaScript - Day 3

Give your JavaScript a sense of history and time (by setting timelines
on your pages so that different events occur at different times), and
then learn how to sense which browser your visitors are using.

Advanced JavaScript - Day 4

Does your JavaScript get the picture? It will after today's lessons on
image mapping and preloading images. Also inside: Set up an employee
database! Create a virtual pet!

Advanced JavaScript - Day 5

Thau puts the finishing touches on your JavaScript mastery, covering
JavaScripting tools, debugging techniques, and ways to make your code
sprint like the wind.

- - > Synapse

"Dreamland," the new book by Phil Patton (hacker and friend of Katz), is
probably the closest you'll ever get to the secret, possibly
UFO-related, military base known as Area 51.

http://go.hotwired.com/synapse/katz/98/29/index3a.html/hf199830

Coming Tuesday: Katz takes on the movie "There's Something About Mary,"
which takes on the self-righteous, the politically correct, and every
societal taboo you can think of.

Step right up, ladies and germs, and meet the world's only jitterbugging
Wookie!

- - > Cocktail / Cuba Libre

First mixed in 1900 by a one "Mr. X," this drink didn't make the Hit
Parade in the United States until the Andrew Sisters paid homage to it
with song. We're not talking Boogie Woogie Bugle Boys here - rather Rum
and Coca Cola, the two main ingredients of the Cuba Libre.

HOTWIRED SEEKS YOUR AMAZING ANIMATIONS

HotWired is starting a site devoted to astonishing, entertaining,
innovative, and just plain cool animations. And we want you to
contribute!

We're seeking animations that can stand alone as entertaining
experiences. We hope to exhibit both independent and professional work
that uses, but is not limited to, Shockwave for Flash or Director,
QuickTime (and other video formats), dynamic HTML, and Gif 89s.

If your work is accepted, we'll pay!

To submit artwork or find out more about this project, please send email
to animations-submissions@hotwired.com. To make our gala launch, get
your stuff to us by August 15.

- - > RGB Gallery / location, location, location

RGB's very first group show tackles the slippery meaning of "you are
here" on the Web. "My Place" gives you a peek into the minds of the
children of a remote, rural area of Northern California. "Hotel" uses
the memories of its creators to take you from Minnesota to Vietnam to
Hamburg. And }}}destinATiON{{{ explores the concept of travel on the Web
(a place with no distances).

- - > Web 101 / Web Glossary

Sometimes the Net can seem like a dense forest of jargon - take one step
off the beaten path, and you're lost. Fortunately, Web 101 has created a
trail of bread crumbs for you to follow: the Web Glossary.
