Design & Development Links

Along the line of software craftsmanship on the web here are some handy sites I’ve seen recently:

JS Patterns
JS Patterns is a site dedicated to the design and development patterns that are not only industry standards, but also patterns that are native to JavaScript (which C++ or Java cannot do natively). This is definitely worth adding to your RSS feed reader.
Dustin Diaz
Dustin happens to work at Twitter, but his site is loaded with good JavaScript tips. If you’re not following his writing I’d suggest you consider doing so.
BlackBerry WebWorks
The WebWorks development/widget framework for BlackBerry devices looks interesting [disclosure: I work for a RIM subsidiary and have nothing to do with this project]. Download the toolkit from github or from RIM’s site and check it out. It’s focused on giving web developers a web-focused interface to develop for the webkit based smartphones.
