Scripteka is a place where you can find widgets and tools based on Prototype.

(Have to register for an account w/o OpenID and still put in a Captcha?)

Great video, it’s nice to see a programmer with an eye towards practical enhancements and improvements. Hearing the example of Git’s usage immediately helped me understand why Distributed Source Control is useful.

What was the Scriptecca project mentioned at the end of the video? Couldn’t find any Google results on it, probably due to a misspell or mishear.

Hi there,

I’d love to see an interview with ExtJS’s Jack Slocum as well! If at all possible? I think Ajaxian is a great forum for dialog and inviting Jack for an interview would be a good fit with that.

It would be great to hear his thoughts on the Open Web, HTML5, W3C, Microsoft, other libraries and the “state” of JS libraries in general, and if we could ever get to a standardized interface for plugging widgets into multiple toolkits

THANK YOU!

Hi!
Perhaps will be a good choice to publish the interview transcriptions

Another question will be: is the plant behind Sam a Marihuana plant? (At least it seems to be)

Event delegation is a core component of JavaScriptMVC’s Controller plugin. Great to see coming in prototype.

Sprockets sounds like JavaScriptMVC's include plugin.

Are you going to have Jack Slocum of Ext?

that was great to watch – thanks guys!

I couldn’t agree with Sam more about EOLing IE 6. Microsoft need to be pushing that a lot harder!

Great idea, interesting to actually see/hear these guys as most of the time they are just names.

Looking forward to the rest.

Adendum. There are more annoying things out there than caps lock and people complaining about overflowing content.

Aimos: sure, there are plenty of things to criticize, and doing so in one instance doesn’t prevent one from doing so in another. And as far as caps lock, well, I’ve posted the same question sans caps about 50 times and no response. So I’m trying to draw more attention to it. It’s frustrating because, as a person in the “web 2.0″ biz, I often want to see what other folks are doing, and it’s very often completely impossible to read their code samples completely because they are cropped by the center column width. It would take about ten seconds to fix, and there’s no reason it shouldn’t be done. It’s just frustrating that they’ve so far ignored every previous request.

Trevor: how about a caps lock free talk and I think there are more annoying things out there than overlapping videos.

WOULD YOU PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSE PLEASE PLEASE MODIFY THE AJAXIAN CSS SO THAT THE CONTENT AREA DOESN’T OVERFLOW FOR CODE AND VIDEOS? PLEASE?

PLEASE?

Opera actually allows uploading multiple files thanks to its Web Forms 2.0 support (see http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-forms/current-work/#upload ).
