New Sites

These are some new sites I heard of this weekend at TCCC:

• Litmus: For testing how different emails appear to different browsers.


• Rails Wizard: For putting together a package.


• Pragmatic Programmer Magazine: a free magazine about recent programming topics like clojure, CoffeeScript, etc.


• Backbone: a return to structural javascript models like I used to advocate more, tip to tail. This is real object oriented programming, not just DOM-attachment like jQuery promotes. But with models connected to the server, tools for list and maps. Look at all of the clients using it, quite a list.
  
  I like this site for it's smoothness and calming look: QuiteWrite
  
  


• Underscore: jquery-complimentary javascript methods



• Guid: Creating a guid in javascript
