Ah, there's so many frameworks to choose from in the javascript world. Angular does look good. I am totally unconvinced that NoSQL databases are actually necessary and even helpful, so I'll be interested to hear more about your thoughts on Mongo.

where you can pass a code snippet as a method parameter,


Lambdas are the cat's meow, I use them all the time nowadays. Continuation functions are really cool too and absolutely necessary to understand when working in functional programming languages.

I don't do this too often:

(relevance < minRelevance).Then(() => minRelevance = relevance);
(relevance > maxRelevance).Then(() => maxRelevance = relevance);


But it is really nice for one line conditionals and a great example of passing a code snippet as a method parameter and using extension methods.

static bool Then(this bool b, Action f)
{
  if (b) { f(); }
  return b;
}

How does everyone else find time to keep up to date ?


Mostly I wait until someone pays me to do something that requires a particular technology. Otherwise, my time is one of the few things I "own" and therefore spend a lot of it investigating my own interesting ideas and technologies.
