Hi - I found your website about two weeks ago, and I enjoy reading your articles, like the comparison of returning location with JQuery and Prototype. I’m not sure you need to change anything. Thanks for the posts!

Thanks for the comment and I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog. I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t anything missing.

Hello. Congratz I’m subsribed because:

1. You post not only brand-new stuff happening on the net, but also great tools developed some time ago.
2. You publish full RSS content

Suggestions – maybe more jQuery, less Prototype.

Thanks for the comments, I usually try and put the entire article in the feed, sometimes tho I truncate longer articles (basically, if it’s long enough that I wouldn’t read it in my reader, I try sending something smaller down the feed). I think this has happened twice.

As far as trying to balance coverage. It’s a bit tricky for me. I tend to favor prototype because of the influence it has had in the genesis of other toolkits. I find prototype skills to be a bit more transferable than jQuery skills on many projects. That said, I primarily develop with jQuery currently and do have some more jQuery stuff planned.

Hi Don, great question. I think what would be neat is if for every feature you mentioned you tried to highlight where that was available in other frameworks. For instance, if you are covering the datagrid of jExt is there anything comparable in the other frameworks (not that you would have to do anything other than point out there existence). One thing I mentioned the other day is that its frustrating when you find a cool feature in a another framework that the one you’re currently developing in. That’s my 2c. Thanks again!
