Resources for JavaScript Developers
- speg 15y agoI'm pretty much ready to go all in with JavaScript. I just need to find a good (read: cheap & easy) place to have a node server.
- rbazinet 15y agoHave you looked at http://nodester.com/ http://nodester.com/? It seems like a good place to start.
- ecaroth 15y agoI had good experiences with nodejitsu & joyent - both are free for node.js still I think.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoCheap VPS from prgrmr.com is a good start.
- glimcat 15y agoprgmr.com
- Stwerner 15y agoI have a node app running on linode for $20 a month. No fancy setup.
- brico 15y agohave a look at http://www.webfaction.com/ http://www.webfaction.com/ or for an overview: http://www.lowendbox.com/ http://www.lowendbox.com/
- rcsorensen 15y agoHeroku will also host node servers, 1 dyno for free. http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/node-js http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/node-js They're a popular host for hubot, github's chat bot, which runs on node. https://github.com/github/hubot/wiki/Deploying-Hubot-onto-Heroku https://github.com/github/hubot/wiki/Deploying-Hubot-onto-He...
- petercooper 15y agoI was going to recommend http://badassjs.com/ http://badassjs.com/ as well. I notice someone in the comments there beat me to it but.. I'm giving the rec on HN ;-) (and I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't recommend new O'Reilly JavaScript conference taking place later this year: http://fluentconf.com/ http://fluentconf.com/ :-))
- rbazinet 15y agoRight Peter, both good resources. I wasn't aware of badassjs before, will keep that one in mind for next time for sure.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoAnd dailyjs.com
- rbazinet 15y agoNoted, thanks.
- shuzchen 15y agoI use the MDN (#4 on the list) a lot. I only wish there was (or, I only wish I knew the name of...) a support-matrix site for javascript like there is for css (quirksmode.org). Some topics in MDN have that info, but not all (and when it does that info is very broad).
- lgarron 15y agohttp://caniuse.com/ http://caniuse.com/ lists Javascript API features.
- zdwalter 15y agoI love the idea http://learnjs.info http://learnjs.info show how JavaScript works
- navitronic 15y agoInherited some terrible javascript from a colleague or otherwise: http://jsbeautifier.org http://jsbeautifier.org
- navitronic 15y agoI should clarify, I mean terribly formatted. Also works great for displaying JSON in a consistent way, useful for visualising and understanding object hierarchies.
- thisisblurry 15y agohttp://jsonlint.com http://jsonlint.com also does a great job of not only pretty-printing (valid) JSON, but also checking it for any errors.
- mundizzle 15y agogreat online book with interactive examples: http://eloquentjavascript.net/ http://eloquentjavascript.net/
- rbazinet 15y agoYes, didn't think of this one. It looks like a great resource to get started with JavaScript. It's nice to have it also available to read on-line.
- olalonde 15y agoThe Javascript Garden[0] is my personal favourite although it's targeted at people who already have some Javascript background. [0] http://bonsaiden.github.com/JavaScript-Garden/ http://bonsaiden.github.com/JavaScript-Garden/
- rbazinet 15y agoI'll definitely have to add this one to the next roundup. I wasn't aware of this one and it really looks like a valuable resource. I love sites like this that point out tips and tricks. Lots of good stuff in there.
- jacobr 15y agoJavaScript Jabber has managed to get some very interesting guests, but the host is not at all experienced with JavaScript, which is pretty annoying. The JavaScript Show is better in that regard.
- rbazinet 15y agoUnderstood but Chuck admits it. His guests have been top-notch and they have gone into some nice depth so I don't think it matters all that much. I expect interviews and discussions will get stronger.
