  • MPEG1 Video Decoder in JavaScript - PhobosLab
    Notes
    An MPEG1 decoder sounded like a relatively simple and fun weekend project. While the real world use cases for this are of course a bit limited, I still learned a whole lot about video codecs in the process. The size of the source is just around 15kb gzipped and the performance is quite okay-ish - a 320x240 video easily plays with 30fps on the iPhone5.

  • CLI all the things: Introducing Josh.js - ILoggable
    Notes
    Everytime I click my way through a hierarchy tree, I long for a simple BASH shell with TAB completion. It’s such a simple thing, but TAB completion (usually implemented via the trusty Readline library) still ranks as one of the most productive tools in my book. So as I was once again trying to navigate to some page in a MindTouch site, I thought that all I really want is to treat this documentation hierarchy like a file system and mount it with a bash shell.

  • how I write modules - substack in cyberspace
    Notes
    When applications are done well, they are just the really application-specific, brackish residue that can't be so easily abstracted away. All the nice, reusable components sublimate away onto github and npm where everybody can collaborate to advance the commons.

  • JavaScript Stardate Converter
    Notes
    These conversion routines convert to and from Star Trek: The Next Generation style Stardates. These stardates take the form YYXXX.XX where the first two digits refer to the year with 2323 being year zero and the remaining digits being the decimal portion of the year. The last digit before the decimal point is one stardate and is approximately eight and three quarters hours in length.

  • JS adolescence – James Padolsey
    Notes
    For me there was a time that can only be described as adolescence in the field of programming and more specifically JavaScript. This period was characterised by a certain laziness and hubris. I thought I was right. I thought others were wrong. I could see no path but the very strict one that I had boxed myself into through a process in which I longed for certainty and the expulsion of realistic doubt.

  • Hallo.js, a simple rich text editor for the web - Henri Bergius in Berlin, Germany
    Notes
    Hallo.js is a simple rich text editor built as a jQuery UI widget and utilizing the HTML5 contentEditable functionality for allowing in-place editing. This sort of real in-place editing differs from more traditional editors like TinyMCE in that the content is never detached from its place on a page, and so for instance all CSS rules apply to it. This makes the editing experience much more true WYSIWYG.

  • John Resig - Secret Omens: Book Update
    Notes
    To the point of Jeff’s post, I would absolutely not write a technical book again. It’s a tedious process and unless you LOVE writing and are really good at it (like Nicholas Zakas or Dave Flanagan) then I suggest that you stick with the medium that is truly successful: Writing long-form articles/blog posts and possibly spinning them off into purchasable ebooks. (As an example, I’d point to Juriy Zaytsev and Peter-Paul Koch both of whom could get any JavaScript position in the world purely based upon the quality of their articles and sites, without ever having written a book.)
