What are the use cases for RequireJS vs. Yepnope vs. LABjs? – Quora
November 4, 2011Require.JS
Surprisingly to some (as the author of yepnope), this is the script loader that I use most. Also, I don’t like referring to it as a script loader, at all. It’s way more than a script loader. It just _happens_ to have script loading capabilities as a by-product of what it’s actually trying to accomplish: dependency management via modules.
Require.js is perfect for large applications, especially single page apps. It uses the AMD module specification for defining and requiring modules, and it loads these modules via a built in script loader. But again, that’s secondary. In the end, you should be using Jame’s Burke’s require optimizer `r.js` ( https://github.com/jrburke/r.js ) to build your application into a single file or two, so in production, this is barely a script loader at all.

weinre – Home Remote Debugger for Mobile Applications
August 29, 2011weinre is Web Inspector Remote. Pronounced like the word “winery”. Or maybe like the word “weiner”. Who knows, really.
Interesting places:
GitHub: https://github.com/phonegap/weinre
Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/weinre
weinre documentation: http://phonegap.github.com/weinre
Google Chrome Developer Tools: http://code.google.com/chrome/devtools/docs/overview.html
It’s a debugger for web pages, like FireBug (for FireFox) and Web Inspector (for WebKit-based browsers), except it’s designed to work remotely, and in particular, to allow you debug web pages on a mobile device such as a phone.

skilldrick.co.uk – Excellent tutorial on closures in Javascript
December 12, 2010A real-life closure
A closure is a function with access to variables in its containing scope (the function “closes over” the variables). The thing that can be tricky to wrap your head round is that the inner function still has access to the outer function’s variables after the outer function has returned.

December 11, 2010DIY Map
Visualize your information. Plot data on a state map. Create a geographic interface.
DIY Map is a clickable, zooming map written in Flash and colored by data from an external text file.
The external data file makes it easy to customize and update state colors, add points, and use the same Flash file many times in the same Web page with different data sets.

Looks like a nice solution to a common requirement.
