  • Using JavaScript in PHP with PECL and SpiderMonkey
    Notes
    "SpiderMonkey support in PHP comes through PECL's ext/spidermonkey extension, which is maintained by Christophe Robin, and provides an object-oriented API for accessing the SpiderMonkey library. Although this extension is currently in beta, it still allows you to do some fairly interesting things, including registering and using variables, functions and classes from PHP in JavaScript."

  • Foo Hack » YUI’s “Module Pattern” vs. Prototype’s Class Function
    Notes
    Interesting perspective, with which I agree somewhat. Though, there's certainly something to be said for building a domain-specific language of convenience for DOM manipulation. "The more time someone spends building applications with a library like Prototype, the further they get from Javascript, and the more dependent they become on the library. By contrast, time spent using YUI tends to breed developers who are experts in Javascript, and that skill is far more useful than being an expert in a particular library."

  • Nihilogic: Sandbag text wrapping with Canvas
    Notes
    "With CSS you can make text wrap around an image using the float property and for most purposes this is quite adequate. However, it doesn't take into account the actual image and treats it as one big block, even if you'd prefer the text to wrap around the actual content in the picture, magazine style.Since we now have pixel access (in cool browsers, anyway) via the Canvas element, this technique can now be implemented dynamically with a bit of JavaScript."

    Notes
    "E4X, short for “ECMASCript for XML”, is an extension to ECMAScript (i.e. JavaScript, JScript, ActionScript…) with new syntax and built-in objects for more convenient handling of XML fragments. It seems to be used most frequently with ActionScript 3 (Flash), but is also available in recent Mozilla/Firefox releases."

    "Parallax turns a selected element into a 'window', or viewport, and all its children into absolutely positioned layers that can be seen through the viewport. These layers move in response to the mouse, and, depending on their dimensions (and options for layer initialisation), they move by different amounts, in a parallaxy kind of way."

  • jQuery PHP library
    Notes
    "jQuery-PHP is a PHP library that allows to tie jQerry with PHP most natural way. You don't need to think in terms of transmission, parsing and other boring staff. Now you have a bridge that brings DOM right onto your server :) and you can ealisy manipulate it in jQuerry-style way." This seems like one of the worst ideas - maybe it's just me, but "shortcuts" and other encapsulations of client-side JS within server-side code-generation in PHP / Ruby / Python / Perl / etc seems like one of the worst forms of magical obfuscation there is in webdev. Of course, I also feel the same way about most psuedo-ORM SQL / database abstractions.
