  • #FreeDavidWalshDotName: Mission Accomplished

  • jQuery Podcast & Essential jQuery and MooTools Snippets

    Many of you probably already know this but I like to consider myself a bit of a JavaScript chameleon. If you know that then you probably know I'm a MooTools fanatic that periodically dabbles with jQuery. I'm happy to announce that I was able to join Elijah Manor and Ralph Whitbeck on the jQuery podcast this past week to talk jQuery, MooTools, and web development in general. Head on over to the jQuery blog for more information or iTunes to grab the podcast.
