Kinda shocked that a guy from Microsoft is doing this jQuery demo (haven’t seen them participate too much in the community before), but nonetheless Damian Edwards provides an awesome intro to jQuery and JavaScript in general for users looking to really extend the language past your typical DOM manipulation and move into awesomeness. Definitely recommended viewing.
Tangle (How future legislation is written?)
This is a perfect library to begin writing web-based legislation and blowing apart the congressional negotiation process using data. Should we up taxes by 2% ? 3%? Will our proposed increases offset? What if we switched it? Note to all web-based word processor developers: please include this in your APIs. (#appscript, #office365)
Tangle is a JavaScript library for creating reactive documents. Your readers can interactively explore possibilities, play with parameters, and see the document update immediately. Tangle is super-simple and easy to learn.
Be sure to explore the rest of the site for some nice Webkit and great content.
Javascript Dev Model Differences / Advantages?
I’ve been digging in to some things to take my #JS chops to the next level, and have recently run into a number of frameworks that seem very powerful - Knockout, JavascriptMVC, and Backbone. I’ll need to invest time in them, but I’m curious about the differences between the MVC / MVVM models and which you think are better. Any thoughts?
All I know is that EVERY codebase should have a tutorial set as easy as Knockout - seen here in awesome browser glory.
