(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...I recently subscribed to Javascript Weekly, a weekly newsletter (yes, no RSS! or RSS feed) rather high quality weekly collection of Javascript cool stuff.
I’ve been picking the best links and sending to people at work, when I thought … hmm, I actually have a blog, why not summarize it here instead?
So, whenever I feel like it, I’ll be posting my own picks out the this week’s JS weekly.
Today, we have:
- Select2, an awesome replacement of HTML <select> boxes.
- jQuery 1.9/2.0 – the TL;DR edition
- Breaking the JavaScript Speed Limit with V8 (vid, I only skimmed it)
- Wakanda reaches 1.0 – A full stack JS environment (Server, DB, even IDE). For JS nuts (I’ll be sticking with my IntelliJ for now, thanks).
- Modern JavaScript engines can defer the parsing process of a function body until it is completely needed
- jam – package manager building on top of require.js (“jam upgrade jquery”)
- The new sizzle (jQuery CSS selector engine). Did you know it was extensible? (You can code in and precompile custom selectors!)
- 5+1 reasons to choose AngularJS as your client-side templating / MVC framework
