“JavaScript Patterns” now in Brazilian Portuguese
I've been terrible at promoting this book. But that should change starting today 
So today I got a copy of "Padrões JavaScript" - the Brazilian Portuguese translation of JavaScript Patterns. Happy, happy, happy!
Given that I already got two copies few weeks ago, kept one and sent one to my mom for her collection, I thought I should give this one away.

I didn’t know there was a Brazilian-Portuguese version of the JavaScript Patterns book until this week, when I entered a local bookstore (Ciencia Moderna) and started to browse some JavaScript books. I bear a grudge against JS books in general, because many of them are really unreliable, trite and bad.
However, I was amazed at first sight whilst flicking through the “Padrões JavaScript” book. So, I immediately bought my own copy. Right now, I am reading up this outstanding book.
I became your fan since then. Please keep up the excellent work!
Cheers!

Hi,
I’ve found an error in the feature-test for document.attachEvent on page 95 (Brazilian edition):
} else if (typeof document.attachEvent === ‘function’) {
…
The above code snippet doesn’t work in IE 8, because “typeof document.attachEvent” returns ‘object’ instead of ‘function’. Therefore, a better feature-test might be:
} else if (typeof document.attachEvent !== ‘undefined’) {
Or just simply:
} else if (document.attachEvent) {
Cheers,
