This is just a quick post to alert any subscribers to this blog that are interested in JavaScript development that I created a repository some time back on github that holds my exploration of various JavaScript frameworks and libraries. You can check it out at http://github.com/bustardcelly/massroute-js.

Centered around the theme of developing a web-based application to access real-time MBTA transportation data (made available by MassDOT – more info here), I wanted to explore various libraries and micro-application frameworks that are out in-the-wild for JavaScript; some more well-known than others, but still hold my interest.

The initial commit included the work i had done with jQuery Mobile, which i have been actively working with for almost a year and have given a couple presentations on. Most recently, I committed an example of my exploration into dojo. I rather enjoyed working with the dojo framework and toolkit and hope to have another post that spotlights my experience working with it – actually i hope to post on each library/framework that i dig into with the repo, so we’ll see how that goes. Next up on my curiosity list is Knockout…

I won’t list all those that have caught my eye, so if you have any suggestions please feel free to leave them in the comments.

[Disclaimer]
If you look at the source of the examples in the repo, I don’t claim to be a master of the library or frameworks I am exploring, needless to say the JavaScript language itself. So, if you see something that is considered bad practice or all together wrong, please let me know.

Posted in JavaScript, jquery, jquery-mobile.
