Thanks Jason, you rock it for us lazy developers.
You forgot one, http://www.javascriptlint.com. It is basically the parser from spidermonkey. It has a little more options then the online lint.
I found this site useful for my web development. Thanks Jason.
Oh when are people going to start including Eloquent JavaScript in these lists?
Hello Reginald,
Thanks for the resource. I added it under “Tutorials”.
Marvellous. Thanks!
Don’t forget the TableSorter.com written with JQuery. It’s helped me SO much, I offload all my back-end sorting to the client now. Great script that I’ve passed on to many people looking for exactly that.
Good looking plugin, Paul. I have a few applications that can benefit from a dynamic table sort. It has been added into the “Techniques” category.
Perhaps Rosetta Code’s JavaScript page might be appropriate.
(Admission: I run the site, though I didn’t write the JavaScript examples.)
I am sure there would be many more contenders to be part of this wonderful collection but by the nature of such an effort itself it is not possible to be absolutely comprehensive.
My sincere thanks for the efforts in creating this collection.
thanks for another great post of links, smashing magazine! oh wait..
Great list! I’ve got it bookmarked for future use.
thanks…
this one is broken

More important that the bunch of tutorials are the videos on YUI Theater by the one and only Douglas Crockford (one of the best developers in the world, JavaScript uber-guru, charismatic lecturer). Go for the ‘Douglas Crockford “The JavaScript Programming Language”‘ (4 Parts) then for ‘Douglas Crockford “Advanced JavaScript”‘ (3 parts) and learn JavaScript the right way.
He also has a great JavaScript section at his site. He is the best resource for learning JavaScript the correct way.
