As seen on Google Code’s new and improved source browser.
Interesting. I've been using the jquery-1.2.3.js hosted on google code for a few months now. Maybe I should have read the TOS…
What Mark Pilgrim has been working on at Google for the past year or so: an encyclopedia of web development.
JavaScript based source highlighter with support for many languages in separate modules. Similar to the JavaScript Prettifier in that <pre><code> blocks are automatically detected and highlighted without an explicit language class.
Brad Neuberg (Google Gears): “Our historical closeness to the web creates a kind of myopia, where we can’t see how amazing it is. It’s a billion Library of Alexandria’s dropped into our laps.”
“If you can’t control the text width the next best thing you can do to compensate for an overly wide text measure is to increase the leading.” — I never considered that but it makes sense.
I need to give jQuery a serious look. Prototype’s Ajax.Request stuff is crippled (no PUT or DELETE) to the point of being worthless; the jQuery selector magic looks a lot more intriguing than what you get with Prototype, too.
Yes! Please. Make your friends on myspace work for you. Idle CPU is wasted CPU, dontchaknow.
Dion Almaer sits down with Yegge to talk about his JavaScript/Rails port. Nice one-on-one video, candid, and thick in technical detail.
I had assumed that was already happening today. I really have to dig into the mozilla codebase someday… Seems like it would be worth it to get a better feel for browser internals – even if you weren’t planning hacking on the browser.
“The general thrust of this argument is that having a full-fledge rich-windowing experience in the browser is going to put a stop to all that amateurish mucking around with JavaScript and the DOM. … that’s hogwash.”
Is anyone actually falling for this crap? “‘The goal is to make it so people never have to see code’, said Gosling.” — Gag Me!
Browser-side JavaScript template engine with concepts borrowed from Kid. Used by Freebase to drive formatting around JSON. Looks interesting.
I'm real close to hating multi-select list boxes right now. Using an overflowed UL of checkboxes has some interesting pros (and cons).
Nugget of wisdom: “… developing for the web is frequently about accepting small compromises to big philosophical ideals.”
Awesome. Robert Sayre just checked in his document.getElementsByClassName implementation to mozilla trunk.
Nice review of new features.
Documentation, finally!
Anne isn’t pulling any punches :)
Ranks programmers by who they consider themselves superior to. Comedy.
Holy… This is big. Huge big.
The best attempt I've seen at splicing multiple API references together. This uses the external documentation but provides indexing and browsing features.
dangerous waters…
I'm starting to “get it” now… Makes a ton of sense.
Firefox extension with some promising script debugging/spying features.
Useful…
Nice list of DOM events and the varying support of different browsers.
Mozilla’s JavaScript Reference..
Decent javascript reference. I really like the format but the cards are images so you can’t use your browser’s find to locate stuff…
Hi, we're Forrester Research, a division of Microsoft. — I really didn’t expect Firefox to get this much FUD thrown at it.
..that rocks. Quite possible the only javascript treeview I'd ever consider using.
