If you’re a web developer, you’re almost certainly constantly looking for ways to improve your skills, expand your technology arsenal, and keep on top of the latest trends in development and design. Today’s post is mostly based on some nice and very well developed jQuery plugins and JavaScript , web applications, frameworks and wireframes.

JavaScript & jQuery

1. stickyMojo

2. sketch.js

sketch.js is a tiny (~5k) boilerplate for creating JavaScript based creative coding experiments. The demo shows what can be done with just a few lines of code.  It handles all that tedious but necessary stuff that would normally slow you down – setting up an animation loop, creating and managing a graphics context for Canvas or WebGL, cross browser and device event binding and normalisation for mouse, touch and keyboard events, handling window resizes

3. HorizontalNav

HorizontalNav is a jQuery plugin that spans a horizontal navigation to fit the full width of it’s container. If you’ve ever had to create this effect on a project, you’ll know it’s pretty annoying to do. But this plugin makes it easy and adds support for IE7.

4. Roundabout

Roundabout is a jQuery plugin that easily converts unordered lists & other nested HTML structures into entertaining, interactive, turntable-like areas.

5. Peity

Peity (sounds like deity) is a simple jQuery plugin that converts an element’s content into a simple , mini pie, line or bar chart and is compatible with any browser that supports : Chrome, Firefox, IE9+, Opera, Safari.

6. iosSlider

10. Mixpanel Flow

Mixpanel Flow is a simple and free app that works out where your users go and when they leave, all in real-time. Instead of a line graph or a table, you get a diagram of the actual paths people take as they browse your site.

Frameworks, Wireframes & One Awesome Site

14. Hex Words

CSS is fun and exciting and gives developers a great tool to create unique and exciting web designs, but one of the hardest parts of design is choosing the color scheme.

Well not anymore, as with HEX WORDS you can find great colors and also add some extra personal fun and pleasure in the mix too.  Why have a hard to remember and boring hex code like #3E61A9 when you can have #C0FFEE or #BADA55
