A healthy dose of gratitude goes out to the Open Source community at large, and to a few people in particular for making great code, then making it available to the world:
John Resig, jQuery, New Wave Javascript
Dave Methvin, jQuery corner plugin
Dylan Verheul and Anjesh Tuladhar, jQuery.autocomplete
Taku Sano (Mikage Sawatari), jQuery history plugin
Brice Burgess, jqDnR - Minimalistic Drag'n'Resize for jQuery
Klaus Hartl, Cookie Plugin for jQuery
Thanks to Chris Veness for the wonderful work creating these scripts, and for the constant improvements:
And of course we're not forgetting these great folks:
Angel Marin, JavaScript Secure Hash Algorithm, SHA-256
WebToolKit.info, Javascript base64 encoding
And finally, two little tools that go a long way, thanks to:
Dean Edwards, Javascript Packer
Douglas Crockford, JSMin - The JavaScript Minifier
Passpack not only uses Open Source libraries, but it has released a few as well. A Developers Center is in the works, but until then here's a few of the libraries:
White papers and discussion will also be available on techniques and patterns. And, of course, bug tracking.
Thanks to Nicola Mattina for being you.
