As of 2007, the latest version of JavaScript is 1.7, which, like its predecessor, 1.6, does correspond to ECMA-262 Edition 3 as JavaScript 1.5 does. In this latest edition, it has some Array extras, String generics, and extensions such as pop( ), push( ), shift( ), and unshift( ).

Should be:

As of 2009, the latest implemented version of JavaScript is 1.9, which builds upon all of its predecessors (1.5 through 1.8.1) ? all of which correspond to ECMA-262 Edition 3 starting at 1.5. This latest addition includes ECMAScript 5 compliance, and is projected to first be seen in Mozilla Firefox 4.

Although the newest version of the .NET Framework (which comes by default with Windows Vista) is 3.0, do not confuse the numbers.

Although the newest version of the .NET Framework (which is downloadable in service packs for Windows XP and Vista) is 3.5 SP1, do not confuse the numbers. The 3.5 Framework still uses the 2.0 version of the CLR ? essentially the same ASP.NET, Windows Forms, and ADO.NET that come with the 2.0 Framework. It is presumed that the next version of the Framework, .NET 4.0, will come with a new version of the CLR. At that point, though the 4.0 Framework will run side by side with earlier ones, you will have to learn a new model.

to this:
for (var i = 0, il = paramList.length; i < il;)
