Essential JavaScript Links

I no longer mantain this list. There are lots of other very comprehensive JavaScript link lists out there. Please see those, instead (Google "awesome JavaScript" for a start).

Rails naming conventions

General Ruby conventions

Class names are CamelCase.

Methods and variables are snake_case.

Methods with a ? suffix will return a boolean.

Cryptographic Best Practices

Putting cryptographic primitives together is a lot like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, where all the pieces are cut exactly the same way, but there is only one correct solution. Thankfully, there are some projects out there that are working hard to make sure developers are getting it right.

The following advice comes from years of research from leading security researchers, developers, and cryptographers. This Gist was [forked from Thomas Ptacek's Gist][1] to be more readable. Additions have been added from

	<?php
	/**
	* Convert a comma separated file into an associated array.
	* The first row should contain the array keys.
	*
	* Example:
	*
	* @param string $filename Path to the CSV file
	* @param string $delimiter The separator used in the file
	* @return array

	/**
	* jQuery.support.cssProperty
	* To verify that a CSS property is supported
	* (or any of its browser-specific implementations)
	*
	* @param p css property name
	* @param rp optional, if set to true, the css property name will be returned
	* instead of a boolean support indicator
	* @return {mixed}
	*

	# place this in lib/fakeout.rb

	require 'ffaker'

	module Fakeout
	class Builder

	FAKEABLE = %w(User Product)

	attr_accessor :report

	/* x is the <input/> element
	type is the type you want to change it to.
	jQuery is required and assumed to be the "$" variable */
	function changeType(x, type) {
	if(x.prop('type') == type)
	return x; //That was easy.
	try {
	return x.prop('type', type); //Stupid IE security will not allow this
	} catch(e) {
	//Try re-creating the element (yep... this sucks)

	window.onerror = function(message) {
	top.location.href = 'http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=' +
	encodeURIComponent(message + ' [js]');
	};

	## zip command itself can clean it up for you

	Can be fixed after the fact by `zip -d filename.zip __MACOSX/\*`
