Hello, I'm Wilhelm, a PHP developer, and this is my little corner of the internet where I can discuss things that interest me and, hopefully, you too. :-)

Hey, this can be fun!

Well, obviously, I've written a few quick tutorials to do some common tasks in jQuery. Which is great, because jQuery is an awesome set of JavaScript decorators. But, the thing is that not everybody uses jQuery. Chances are, if you're not using one of the 'Top 2', you're using the other. In this case I'm refering to Prototype.

So, in order to cater to a wider crowd and please more people, I have decided that all jQuery tutorials will have a Prototype version as well. I can't tell you how many times I got pissed when working with Prototype, hit a brick wall and then only found jQuery solutions to my problem and vice versa.

Why not post tutorials for both libraries that address the same problem and solution?

This decree is retroactive! I'll be adding Prototype versions for my last 2 jQuery articles this week.

This'll be fun!


Your Commentary:

This should be interesting. :P

I don't have much prototype/scriptaculous experience…it'll be interesting to see how the two stack up against each other.

Yeah, I figure catering to both crowds will make more people happy. And, yes, I might even consider mootools like you suggested earlier.

Eh, IMO mootools (although great at one time) is kind of a dying horse. I think you'd be fine without it. :P

Are you sure? Please clarify. I care about your opinion and want to know more.

Oooh, looking forward to seeing these examples as well!
