Head on over to JavaScriptAnt.com

Late in 2007, Cody Lindley (of jQuery ThickBox fame) contacted me. He was looking for content authors in an effort to produce a high-quality repository of modern JavaScript tutorials and information. I agreed, and on January 1, 2008, JavaScript Ant was born. Cody did an excellent job with the design and format, and I look forward to writing for him in the near future.

Enjoy!

For Steve’s suggestion he wins any downloadable Web developer software of his choice priced at $40 or less.

Over the next few weeks I will be researching/developing a solution, and I will open-source it through d’bug.
