Compliments on your sessions at DevCon, I found both (especially component design) to be extremely interesting. I have a question or two for you...
ONe of the points that you made in your component design session regarding parameters and object interaction was that the best parameter an object can pass is itself, giving the recieving object knowledge of the passer's properties. This is been counter to what I have practiced in the past for the following reasons: If I pass my self as a parameter, the other object has to know something about me to get it's operating info. Example:

this.custno = 100
this.ocomponent = NEWOBJ('custmanager','bizobj')
this.ocomponent.printinvoice(this)

Ocomponent must know that this's property is named custno, where as if I just pass the customer number, ocomponent doesn't care anything about this.

Another question: one of the new functonalities of the Class Browser was to see method code in the right pane of the window itself. Whoever showed this, pointed out that the code was actually being displayed in a disguised IE4 window, so that right clicking in the window and choosing View source, would yield an HTML doc of syntax colored and formatted code... problem is I just can't seem to remeber (or figure how) that code was shown there. Do you know?
