JavaScript from Null and Beans
JavaScript from Null is a tutorial screencast series created by Jeffrey Way. Chapter 2 has just been published, which includes the following topics:
- Difference between = and ===, and != and !==
- How a string can have methods available to it, like toUpperCase() and length
- JavaScript native functions: parseFloat, and encodeURIComponent
- Basic Math operations
It’s basic stuff but will be useful for beginners and well presented.
Beans
Jonah Fox sent us a link to this blog post about Beans — a web app that can host and concatenate JavaScript libraries. It’s similar to Sprockets but works as a service rather than scripted tool. This might be more suitable to your organization or way of working.
It’s actually a Sinatra app, which means to install it you just need to check out the beans GitHub repo.
