After quit from Idapted/Eleutian, I’d like to have a long term plan for writing blogs. However, as everything starts, it’s always hard. I thought it around, and finally decided to open my mind, and just try to start with a strong belief : Sharing! Then an idea comes out.
First of all, I think my weekly updates will help to share great things I came across or even I started to use, it has much fun to replay all these stuff, so I will do that in the weekend, that’s also part of my study review.
Ok, turn to the points:
- Now you must know JSLint. JSlint is a Javascript checker, which can help you ensure your JS’ quality. There are many great open source projects helping you to program in Javascript.

Are you familiar with BDD? You should start to learn it now if you did not have a change to give it a try. Specially, if you are using Ruby/Ruby on Rails, I strongly recommend you try rSpec for the BDD. Back to the topic, I wanna share with you some similar BDD way in programming Javascript, jspec and Jasmine, obviously, they are cool. I just mention this as a reminder people who want to try interesting programming. I didn’t try them yet, but I guess I will do that in soon.
Books to speed you up! • Javascript: The Good Parts (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596517748) • JavaScript Patterns (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596806767/) • High Performance JavaScript (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596802806/)
Javascript is a long journey, I am just on the start point. Anyway, exciting!
