Essential JavaScript Links

A curated list by Eric Elliott and friends. Suggest links in the gist comments.

Help us turn this into a proper website!

This is a very exclusive collection of only must-have JavaScript links. I'm only listing my favorite links. Nothing else makes the cut. Feel free to suggest links if you think they're good enough to make this list. The really curious should feel free to browse the comments to find other links. I can't guarantee the quality of links in the comments.

Full Disclosure

So, you've merged the master branch with itself, and you ended up with a merge commit nobody wanted.

The problem

Let me tell you a little story...

John and Pete are working together on a repo.

$ git log --graph --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit  # an alias I have under 'git lol', but 'gitk' does just fine
* 812492b (master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Add stuff

Objects

To create a new object, use the new keyword followed by a call to a constructor function. Javascript provides the Object() constructor out-of-the-box:

var toilet = new Object();

Properties

Once you have an object, you can set and get properties on it, like this:

Introduction

Before we begin:

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	# This script uses the concept at https://certbot.eff.org/#ubuntuxenial-other
	# but overcomes the problem I consistently have of the server (at eff.org)
	# not being able to connect to this machine.

	mkdir -p /tmp/www
	cd /tmp/www
	sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80 &
	http_pid=$!

	CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.dbs_ned_z(
	IN text,
	IN text,
	OUT text)
	RETURNS text AS
	$BODY$
	#!/bin/sh
	url="http://ned.usgs.gov/epqs/pqs.php?output=json&x=$1&y=$2"; /usr/bin/curl -s $url
	$BODY$
	LANGUAGE plsh VOLATILE

	# Bulk convert shapefiles to geojson using ogr2ogr
	# For more information, see http://ben.balter.com/2013/06/26/how-to-convert-shapefiles-to-geojson-for-use-on-github/

	# Note: Assumes you're in a folder with one or more zip files containing shape files
	# and Outputs as geojson with the crs:84 SRS (for use on GitHub or elsewhere)

	#geojson conversion
	function shp2geojson() {
	ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON -t_srs crs:84 "$1.geojson" "$1.shp"
	}

	1. Install Anaconda to get your python 2.7.
	2. Install .Net Framework - dotNetFx45_Full_setup.exe
	3. Uninstall the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 instances.
	4. Install the Microsoft SDK - winsdk_web.exe #http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279
	5. Install Node.js - http://nodejs.org/download/
	6. Open your command prompt as an administrator
	>Start
	>"cmd" in Search for All Programs
	>Ctrl-RightClick on CMD and "Run as Administrator"
	7. Set your environment for the SDK (this was tricky to figure out!)
