Provides: Models, Collections (of model instances), Views (with declarative event handling). REST API support is baked in.

*The* JavaScript library.
"jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript."

Interesting approach to MVC: each $$() object has its own model-view-controller stack. Model holds underlying data, view contains DOM template, controller takes care o event handling.

A love child of Backbone.js and Knockout.js, taking the best features from each one.

"The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once and for all. It catalogs your collection, automatically improving its metadata as it goes using the MusicBrainz database. (It also downloads cover art for albums it imports.) Then it provides a bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing your music."

Looks impressive.

"Web application framework for a frontend built using RequireJS, Backbone.js, Underscore.js, jQuery, Mustache.js"

Details here: http://www.hautelooktech.com/2012/05/24/vertebrae-front-end-framework-built-with-backbone-js-and-requirejs-using-amd/

Interesting approach: add framework hooks in DOM, invent new HTML elements etc. Works with other libraries/frameworks.

"Batman.js is a framework for building rich web applications with CoffeeScript or JavaScript. App code is concise and declarative, thanks to a powerful system of view bindings and observable properties. The API is designed with developer and designer happiness as its first priority."

Library that allows binding of DOM elements to model data via HTML data attributes, implements Model-View-View-Model architecture, supports templating.

Micro-framework written in CoffeeScript, provides Classes, Models, Views, Controllers, can also handle Routes. Seems to be largely inspired from Backbone.js.

Ember takes the good ideas from SproutCore 1.x (Data Binding, State Charts), adds Handlebars.js templating.

Work in progress on a small library of useful JS components: a finite state machine / statechart thing, and a pub-sub implementation with namespaced events.

This is not a list of everything out there, but instead a thoughtfully curated selection of our favourite tools that will make your life easier creating meaningful and beautiful data visualizations."

Nice implementation.

Classes, MVC, routing.

"So here we're collecting all the shims, fallbacks, and polyfills in order to implant html5 functionality in browsers that don't natively support them.

The general idea is that: we, as developers, should be able to develop with the HTML5 apis, and scripts can create the methods and objects that should exist. Developing in this future-proof way means as users upgrade, your code doesn't have to change but users will move to the better, native experience cleanly."

"Dataset is a JavaScript client-side data transformation and management library. Dataset makes managing client-side data easy by handling loading, parsing, sorting, querying & manipulating data from all sorts of sources."

"Pipes is a powerful composition tool to aggregate, manipulate, and mashup content from around the web. Like Unix pipes, simple commands can be combined together to create output that meets your needs:
* combine many feeds into one, then sort, filter and translate it.
* geocode your favorite feeds and browse the items on an interactive map.
* power widgets/badges on your web site.
* grab the output of any Pipes as RSS, JSON, KML, and other formats."

"Modernizr is an open-source JavaScript library that helps you build the next generation of HTML5 and CSS3-powered websites."

"Photoshop has a far better solution for accurate image work: 16 bit* color mode (Image > Mode > 16 Bits/channel). While in 8 bit mode each RGB channel has 256 possible shades, in 16 bit they are 65536. Perfect for gradients; perfect for heavy editing (some operations reduce the color resolution of your image, ex. if you reduce contrast, then increase it again); perfect for experimenting with extreme blending mode effects (i.e. say Hard Mix) without encountering so many artifacts, as in 8 bit.

There is one drawback of 16 bit mode: some of Photoshop's fancy filters, and many third party filters don't work. That said, all the important ones do work (Blur, Noise, Sharpen, Levels etc.), and as we know the rest are quite specific/gimmicky and thus rarely used for serious work. If you need to apply an 8 bit filter, you can always do so in a separate image or within an 8 bit smart object."

"Mojito is a sweet (and minty!) MVC application framework built on YUI 3 that enables agile development of Web applications. Mojito allows developers to write client and server components in the same language (JavaScript), using the same framework. Because Mojito applications are written in JavaScript, they can run on the client (in the browser) and on the server (with Node.js). In addition, Mojito has built-in support for internationalization, testing, and building documentation."

"Enyo is an open source object-oriented JavaScript framework emphasizing encapsulation and modularity. Enyo contains everything you need to create a fast, scalable mobile or web application."

"Zen Coding is an editor plugin for high-speed HTML, XML, XSL (or any other structured code format) coding and editing. The core of this plugin is a powerful abbreviation engine which allows you to expand expressions—similar to CSS selectors—into HTML code."
Crazy useful.

"AmplifyJS is a set of components designed to solve common web application problems with a simplistic API. Amplify's goal is to simplify all forms of data handling by providing a unified API for various data sources. Amplify's store component handles persistent client-side storage, using standards like localStorage and sessionStorage, but falling back on non-standard implementations for older browsers. Amplify's request adds some additional features to jQuery's ajax method while abstracting away the underlying data source."

"The OldMapsOnline Portal is an easy-to-use gateway to historical maps in libraries around the world. It allows the user to search for online digital historical maps across numerous different collections via a geographical search. Search by typing a place-name or by clicking in the map window, and narrow by date. The search results provide a direct link to the map image on the website of the host institution."

"A still photograph is a limited format for capturing a moment in time. Video is the traditional method for recording durations of time, but the subjective "moment" that one desires to capture is often lost in the chaos of shaky camerawork, irrelevant background clutter, and noise that dominates most casually recorded video clips.

Microsoft Research Cliplets is an interactive app that uses semi-automated methods to give users the power to create "Cliplets" -- a type of imagery that sits between stills and video from handheld videos. The app provides a creative lens one can use to focus on important aspects of a moment by mixing static and dynamic elements from a video clip."

"Impact is a JavaScript Game Engine that allows you to develop stunning HTML5 Games for desktop and mobile browsers."

"JsFiddle is a playground for web developers, a tool which may be used in many ways. One can use it as an online editor for snippets build from HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The code can then be shared with others, embedded on a blog, etc. Using this approach, JavaScript developers can very easily isolate bugs. We aim to support all actively developed frameworks - it helps with testing compatibility."

"Events in Javascript are often seen as a bit of an enigma. This is odd given that Javascript is very much an event driven language, but it is typically down to their complex nature and difficulty to debug. To this end I've created Visual Event to help track events which are subscribed to DOM nodes."

"There’s lots of useful data on the internet – crime statistics, government spending, missing kittens…

But getting at it isn’t always easy. There's a table here, a report there, a few web pages, PDFs, spreadsheets… And it can be scattered over thousands of different places on the web, making it hard to see the whole picture and the story behind it. It’s like trying to build something from Lego when someone has hidden the bricks all over town and you have to find them before you can start building!

To get at data, programmers write bits of code called ‘screen scrapers’, which extract the useful bits so they can be reused in other apps, or rummaged through by journalists and researchers. But these bits of code tend to break, get thrown away or forgotten once they have been used, and so the data is lost again. Which is bad.

ScraperWiki is an online tool to make that process simpler and more collaborative. Anyone can write a screen scraper using the online editor. In the free version, the code and data are shared with the world. Because it's a wiki, other programmers can contribute to and improve the code."

"Cowbird is a small community of storytellers, focused on a deeper, longer-lasting, more personal kind of storytelling than you’re likely to find anywhere else on the Web.

Cowbird allows you to keep a beautiful audio-visual diary of your life, and to collaborate with others in documenting the overarching “sagas” that shape our world today. Sagas are themes and events that touch millions of lives and shape the human story.

Our short-term goal is to pioneer a new form of participatory journalism, grounded in the simple human stories behind major news events. Our long-term goal is to build a public library of human experience, so the knowledge and wisdom we accumulate as individuals may live on as part of the the commons, available for this and future generations to look to for guidance."

"OK, we’re only at number 19 so far, there’s still a way to go. Still, what’s there so far suggests it’ll be an amazing series. As the site doesn’t make it easy to see all of the methods so far, here’s a list of what’s there to date:

1. Concept Interviews: Users write down statement to do with the use of a product, and rank them.
2. Brainwriting: generating ideas quickly by getting people to write them down rather than say them
3. Freelisting: a complement to brainstorming where people list examples in relation to a particular question.
4. Reverse Brainstorming: asking a question that generates problems or criticisms rather than solutions.
5. Metaphor Brainstorming: guiding brainstorming by framing with metaphors
6. Future Workshop: four phase futures technique (preparatory, critique, fantasy, and implementation phases)
7. Claims Analysis: looking at how changing an existing feature on a product will affect various user groups
8. Repeated Card Sorting: doing card sorting repeatedly in order to find out the underlying product characteristics.
9. Reverse Card Sorting: a variation of closed card sorting where you measure users’ cards sorts against a proposed solution.
10. Perspective Based Inspection: getting users to review a product from a specific perspective (e.g. disabled user, power user)
11. Bodystorming: Physical scenario modelling.
12. Teachback: Testing the robustness of a product’s mental model by having an expert teach a novice and the novice ‘teach it back’.
13. Consistency Inspection: Like QA, but for product consistency across a product experience.
14. Yes, And: Taking from improv to further ideas.
15. Misuse Scenarios: looking for situations for unintentional (accidental) and intentional (e.g. malicious) misuse.
16. Backcasting: a strategic method where you start from a desired future and work backwards.
17. The User Interface Race: challenging users to compete to complete tasks under time pressure
18. The User/Task Matrix: plotting task frequency against groups
19. Laddering Questions: the IDEO ’5 Whys’ and other methods"
