JavaScript links otd

A couple of JavaScript links. The first two were recommended by Elf Sternberg:

Coffee Script is a Ruby like language that compiles into JavaScript. It's written in JavaScript and runs under Node.js, a command-line/stand-alone environment for JavaScript.
Douglas Crockford has a lot of writing on JavaScript

Two from Dwayne Anderson:

Backbone.js "...supplies structure to JavaScript-heavy applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing application over a RESTful JSON interface." I'm not sure what all that means, but Dwayne said "I can't overstate my love for this library. It's completely changed how I write client-side code."
Underscore.js is a set of functional programming libraries.

Okay, one more:

Showdown is Markdown for JavaScript.

And while we're tossing stuff around, Bootstrap, from Twitter is a bunch of CSS layout tools.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
