While checking out the new release of the PHP extension for Aptana I came across this cool project –

PHP.js

which is looking to recreate PHP functions in Javascript. Now while it’s better to just handle these
things with proper JS, it is nice to use when you already know the php syntax for a function. What I really want out of this is the print_r function because I’m always running into issues with trying to figure out an object in JS and there aren’t any ways I have found that are as nice as the print_r in PHP. I only use that in debugging and development and will be a great thing to have around for that.

So overall an interesting project to watch.

Resizable Textarea by Javascript

This is a pretty nice system to look at for a great use of Javascript that can be very practical.

The code is very clean and an excellent example of what you should look to achieve.

Yeah yeah, took me a while to get this up but have been quite busy the last 2 weeks having to get a bunch of things ready for a meeting today so I haven’t been on my laptop where the slides were.

This is a great talk from one of the developers at Plaxo. He echoes a lot of good points that most beginning JS programmers miss when they start out because as he says this is a completely different beast then the one you may be use to.

Enjoy.
