link() Tutorials
I released my first MooTools class over a year ago. It was a really minimalistic approach to zebra tables and a great first class to write. I took some time to update and improve the class.
Weekend Links – mooSlide, Spam-Proof Email Links, JSMiner, MooScroll, Twitter
mooSlide is a customizable MooTools-based slider that pops into the page whenever and wherever you'd like. Potentially very useful — just make sure you aren't covering a bunch of content up (like the demo).
Weekend Links – JavaScript Time Picker, Cuil Search, AJAX Site Thumbnails, IE6, Twitter
This new MooTools-based script allows you to pick a specific time by dragging and dropping hour and minute hands. Pretty cool, although I'm not sure it makes picking times on forms much easier.
Weekend Links – Firebug Extensions, Updating Firefox Extensions, jQuery Puzzles, Digg/Google Sale
Firebug is a powerhouse in itself, but why not install some Firebug plugins to make it even more useful?
Weekend Links – Google Maps API, HeatMap API, googleDrive, MooTools Forms, jQuery Sparklines, Firebug
HeatMap allows you to create heat maps on top of Google Analytics. A very impressive script that requires little code from the developer.
Weekend Links – MooWheel, mooZoom, eXtplorer, YSlow, Cygwin Find
MooWhool is an unbelievable feat. This visualization library builds connections from the data you pass to it...all with MooTools! You have to see this to really understand its power.
Weekend Links – jQuery Progress Bar, jQuery Kwicks, Bill Gates Email, MooTools Plugins
This jQuery progress bar is as good as it gets. The progress bar animates to the next step and is very lightweight.
Weekend Links – Yahoo! Sprite Generator, Dojo AIM Modules, Clientside MooTools 1.2 Plugins, Speed Photoshop
Chris was snooping around Yahoo's source code and found a sprite generator. It's a really nice way to create headers. I helped Chris make his jQuery work with space, but don't tell him I told you!
Weekend Links – MooTools Cheat Sheet, Google / Digg Acquisition, PHP Twitter API, Bot Detection, CSS Support In Email Clients
As you know, MooTools 1.2 was officially released this week. As great as the online documentation is, wouldn't you rather have an all-on-one-sheet reference card? Of course. If you're a Moo programmer, you must download this cheat sheet.
Weekend Links – iPhone Interface, mooVRotatingMenu, Digg Hacked, jQuery Scrolling, Prototip
Chris Coyier drops a sweet iPhone-like script for any RSS feed. Chris used SimplePie (PHP RSS API) and jQuery to create this hot page.
