List of updated JS tutorials for web developers. Those who want to excel in JS they need to know these tutorials, all links are working and are highly reliable.

Quick Tip: Quick and Easy JavaScript Testing with “Assert”

Years ago, I learned a deceptively simple “assert” function from John Resig, for testing your JavaScript. Amazingly, at barely five or six lines, this code provides a great level of power and control over your code, when testing. I’ll show you how to use it in today’s video quick tip.

Quick Tip: Dissecting jQuery – Filters

Sporadically, over the course of each month, we’ll post a “Dissecting jQuery” video quick tip. The idea behind these is that we’ll take a single chunk of the jQuery source  at a time, break it down, and determine exactly what’s going on under the hood, so to speak. Then, with that knowledge, we’ll learn how to better utilize the library in our coding. Today, we’ll review filters.

Quick Tip: An Introduction to Sammy.js

You’ve been seeing it for a while now with Google’s Reader, Gmail, and most recently, on Facebook. Probably, you, too, would like to write RESTful evented JavaScript applications. Well, fellow developers, meet Sammy.js, a tiny JavaScript framework built on top of jQuery. Sammy utilizes the URL hash (#) to allow you to create single page AJAX applications that respond to your browser’s back button. Interested? In this article, I’ll be providing a short overview of the framework, and then a brief demonstration of what it’s like working with Sammy.js, with the hope of enticing you enough to consider it for your projects.

Building Persistent Sticky Notes with Local Storage

HTML5 local storage is like cookies on steroids; it’s incredibly simple to use and yet still so powerful. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create “sticky notes” functionality, that allows your users to take persistent notes while browsing your site.

How To Create A ‘Mootools Homepage’ Inspired Navigation Effect Using jQuery

As you know there are a host of competing javascript libraries around these days. Though I prefer jQuery, I’ve always liked the way the menu on MooTools worked. So in this tutorial we’ll recreate that same effect … but we’ll do it in jQuery!

Building a 5 Star Rating System with jQuery, AJAX and PHP

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to build a rating system with AJAX, PHP, and jQuery. Votes will be recorded and updated in real-time with the magic of AJAX, and we’ll also leverage the power of PHP so that you don’t even need a database!

iPhoto-like image resizing using Javascript

Upon seeing the Fluxiom intro video, I was compelled to figure out how they pulled off iPhoto-like image scaling in a browser. Leveraging the work of others, it’s actually very simple. If you use the script.aculo.us slider control to capture input values, it’s really just a matter of converting those values into something useful and modifying styles.

Making a Mosaic Slideshow With jQuery & CSS

When designing a product page, it is often necessary to present a number of images in a succession, also known as a slideshow. With the raise of the jQuery library and its numerous plugins, there is an abundance of ready-made solutions which address this problem. However, to make a lasting impression to your visitors, you need to present them with something they have not seen before.

Today we are making a jQuery & CSS mosaic gallery. Mosaic, because it will feature an interesting tile transition effect when moving from one slide to another.

jQuery Tutorials for Designers

This article contains 10 visual tutorials intended for web designers and newbies on how to apply Javascript effects with jQuery. In case you don’t know about jQuery, it is a “write less, do more” Javascript library. It has many Ajax and Javascript features that allow you to enhance user experience and semantic coding. Since these tutorials are focused on jQuery, I’m not going to get into the details of the CSS.

Lightbox 2

Lightbox is a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the current page. It’s a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers.

jQuery Tutorial – How to Make a Smooth Animated Menu with jQuery

Ever seen some excellent jQuery navigation that left you wanting to make one of your own? Today we’ll aim to do just that by building a menu and animate it with some smooth effects. The menu has such a smooth animation because of a thing called “easing”. Adobe’s definition in the Flash Developer Center is a little more complete:

“The term easing refers to gradual acceleration or deceleration during an animation, which helps your animations appear more realistic. Easing creates a more natural appearance of acceleration or deceleration by gradually adjusting the rate of change.”

How to Detect the Social Sites Your Visitors Use

One of the great things about the web is the relative ease with which one can set up a new service. In social bookmarking alone with have Del.icio.us, Digg, Facebook, Fark, Mister-Wong, Newsvine, Reddit, Technorati, Slashdot, and StumbleUpon, to name a few. That’s great for competition, and that’s great for users, but it’s not so good for bloggers and content creators.

What are you to do if you want readers to promote your content? Kevin Rose, of Digg, put it succinctly: “Encourage your visitors to submit their favorite stories directly to Digg [with a Digg badge].” Not everyone uses Digg. You have to decide on which bookmarking site, if any, to dedicate your precious screen real-estate. It’s a hard choice. If you choose poorly your reader won’t vote—it’s not a single click coupled and out-of-sight means out-of-mind—and your content losses its chance to make it big. You have to choose your horse wisely.

Sponsor Flip Wall With jQuery & CSS

Designing and coding a sponsors page is part of the developer’s life (at least the lucky developer’s life, if it is about a personal site of theirs). It, however, follows different rules than those for the other pages of the site. You have to find a way to fit a lot of information and organize it clearly, so that the emphasis is put on your sponsors, and not on other elements of your design.

We are using PHP, CSS and jQuery with the jQuery Flip plug-in, to do just that. The resulting code can be used to showcase your sponsors, clients or portfolio projects as well.

Textboxlist Auto-Completion

jQuery.Syntax

jQuery.Syntax is an extremely fast and lightweight syntax highlighter written in JavaScript. It has dynamic loading of syntax source files and integrates cleanly using CSS or modelines.

jquery.timepickr.js

This is my humble attempt to enhence web time picking.

For the moment I’d call it a toy project, it might stay in experimental state evitam eternam.. I just wanted to see if I could create a better time picker. I’ve seen lots of time pickers styles and approaches, but none seems to focus on user experience accross many platforms and beautiful degradation.

Rich Text Editor

The Rich Text Editor is a UI control that replaces a standard HTML textarea. It allows for the rich formatting of text content, including common structural treatments like lists, formatting treatments like bold and italic text, and drag-and-drop inclusion and sizing of images. The Rich Text Editor’s Toolbar is extensible via a plugin architecture so that advanced implementations can achieve a high degree of customization.

Learning Basic JavaScript Faster Than Ever!

Before we begin to learn and practices with JavaScript, it’s going to make things a lot smoother if we are all using the same document setup. so for this tutorial I recommend you to practice with the following blank document.

A Simple Movie Search App w/ jQuery UI

In this tutorial, we are using jQuery UI’s autocomplete widget, to build a simple AJAX movie search form. The script is going to use TheMovieDatabase.org‘s free API, to provide auto suggestions against a vast database of movie titles.

For those of you who might not be familiar with TMDb.org, this is an open, community driven movie database. It is similar to IMDb, which you’ve probably heard about, but also provides a number of useful API’s for developers.

A Fresh Bottom Slide Out Menu with jQuery

In this tutorial we will create a unique bottom slide out menu. This large menu will contain some title and a description of the menu item. It will slide out from the bottom revealing the description text and some icon. We will use some CSS3 properties for some nice shadow effects and jQuery for the interaction.

Photo Zoom Out Effect with jQuery

Today we will show you how to create a simple image zoom out effect with jQuery. The idea is show some images which are zoomed in initially and when hovering over an image it gets zoomed out. This effect could be used in photography websites or image galleries. Our example uses some black and white images to focus on the effect.
