Must-read links for Advanced Javascript

Published on Friday, 15 April 2011.

Currently, Javascript is big. If you have recently learned about it or already have worked on it and find that you are loving it; you will probably arrive to a situation where you need to create a BIG Javascript application.

Unfortunately for you, there are no online tutorials or resources to help you on this quest. Well, at least not many.

So, I've compiled a list of what I consider essential reading if you are interested in the topics of Advanced Javascript or BIG Javascript applications. They are more intended as food for thought and inspiration.

RightJS JavaScript Framework That Feels Right

Very interesting alternative to jQuery/Prototype/Dojo/etc. Do take a look at the example applications. Very, very neat. :)

1. Demo: Typing Ninja Code: https://github.com/MadRabbit/typing-ninja
2. Demo: Right Mines Code: https://github.com/MadRabbit/right-mines

What's most interesting here is to read the code and notice how he is structuring the application.

These are the online resources I can remember off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more hidden treasures on the internets. :)
