Papers: Linux Journal May 2007: MochiKit By Example

MochiKit is a client side JavaScript framework from Bob Ippolito. I watched MochiKit develop, saw all the worry it takes to write cross-platform JavaScript code, and decided I wanted MochiKit to do all the hard stuff.

Perhaps the article is unconsciously inspired by the Inside Mac volumes of documentation: show you all these tools and how to put them together to make something interesting.
