As part of what I aim to be a regular series I'm covering great jQuery articles and plugins I've seen over the previous week. I aim to post this "around" Friday every week, this week may be a little light as I've only been keeping track of articles I've seen for the last few days.
- Signs of a poorly written jQuery plugin (Remy Sharp) - Some good pointers for people interested in identifying if a plugin is well built, or if they just want to write better plugins.
- Twitter Search with jQuery Templating (James Senior) - James gives examples of how to use Microsoft's new jQuery Templating plugin with the twitter javascript API to make a twitter search using jQuery.
- Facebook Like Extracting URL Data with Jquery and Ajax (Srinivas Tamada) - Tutorial showing how to replicate Facebook's link info/summary feature using jQuery and AJAX.
- 30 Pro jQuery Tips, Tricks and Strategies (Nick Parsons) - 30 tips for writing jQuery, some nice tips in there.
- How to Debug Your jQuery Code (Elijah Manor) - Good piece of better jQuery debugging (and avoiding alerts).
- How to Create a Drop-down Nav Menu with HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery (Dan Wellman) - Tutorial for creating a shiney new menu using the latest web technologies.
- compareDocumentPosition Plugin for jQuery (Justin Meyer) - plugin to bring compareDocumentPosition to all browsers, see this post by John Resig in which he explains Comparing Document Position.
As I say, next weeks should have a little more to it. I aim to be a lot more active on this site this year and going forwards, next stage is to implement the article system to display more in-depth articles. In the mean time I shall endeavour to keep blogging.
