jQuery, iFirebug, and iPhone Programming
Some important events happened in the JavaScript community this past week: new jQuery release, Joe Hewitt wrote an iPhone extension for Firebug, and developing for the iPhone is getting a lot of hype. Here are some articles that do a great job covering this:
- jQuery 1.1.3 released
- Firebug for iPhone released by Joe Hewitt
- Abe Fetting explores programming for the iPhone
