January Mailbag Q & A

By  on  

I've been receiving a ton of emails lately with regard to MooTools, jQuery, CSS, PHP, Script & Style, and my opinions on current web topics. While I enjoy responding to these emails, I think it would serve better to have the questions and answers available on this blog. For this reason, I'd like to do another "mailbag" post.

If you have any questions you'd like to ask me on any web-related topic including MooTools, jQuery, CSS, PHP, AJAX, or any else, please post your question below. If there's enough interest, I'll post my responses within a week or so. Don't forget to read my previous Mailbag Q & A.

    GitHub seems to change a lot but not really change at all, if that makes any sense; the updates come often but are always fairly small. I spotted one of the most recent updates on the pull request page. Links to long branch...

    What are you thoughts on jQuery 1.3 and the future of MooTools and other JavaScript frameworks in the coming year?
