Javascript sources, a summary
18 Feb 2012I decided to summarize some JavaScript sources that I use, have used and want to share with others. This is by no means complete, but it might serve as a good starting point. Please, send my anything that I have missed :-)

Projects and libraries
There are a number of cool projects, build in JavaScript that I try to follow.
- Cloud9 IDE: a new IDE for JavaScript build in JavaScript. A very cool project, showing what can be done with JavaScript.
- Google docs: what Google has build into docs is awesome.
- jQuery: one of the many cool DOM manipulation libraries.
