As web developers and web designers, we constantly looking at the sheer amount of new resources, tools and applications that we can tap into increases exponentially with time.

And here is just a quick look at some recently created resources that deserve your attention — everything from new CSS and HTML frameworks, things for WordPress, to some great jQuery plugins and some awesome apps that deserves your attention to some great news items that developers, designers and anyone else who like news about the iOS 6.0.1 update, the lanuches of GitHub Training or ColourLovers Creative Market and anything else I’ve missed in the industry.

JavaScript & jQuery

Uiji.js

uiji is jQuery in reverse. Instead of using CSS selectors to find elements, you use the same syntax to create elements.

Adaptor

Adaptor is a light-weight content slider that aims to provide a simple interface for developers to create cool 2D or 3D slide animation transitions. Added with 3D support for webkit and Firefox, all other browsers will fallback gracefully to a simple fade transition when using the 3D effects.

Responsive-Content

A jQuery plugin that helps you serve different content to different devices.  Responsive Content is used to load content that is appropriate to the current device’s screen size.

It is typically used alongside Responsive Design techniques. Note however that Responsive Design and Responsive Content act on different levels: given a particular screen width, the former applies a particular styling to the same content – whereas the latter actually loads different content.

It can be used subtly – for example to cause smaller images to be loaded on smaller devices – or to deliver radically different content to different screen widths or device capabilities.

ZyngaScroller

jQuery.zyngaScroller.js is a jQuery plugin that wraps the excellent Zynga Scroller as a simple jQuery plugin with a couple new additions: (1) Real-time collaboration is now possible by leveraging the SignalR hook baked into the jQuery.signalRamp.js plugin, and (2) the version of EasyScroller.js that this project uses is different than the original Zynga Scroller with collaboration hooks and support for IE8 and above.

Lean Slider

The Lean Slider is a simple jQuery image slider built on the principles of Progressive Enhancement. Unlike other sliders it does not provide any styling or fancy transition effects. It simply provides a javascript framework (slideshow functionality, navigation controls, callback functions etc.) for you to build a slider on top of.

jResize

jResize is a responsive web development tool, built in jQuery to assist the workflow of developers on responsive projects. There are various tools for responsive development, iframes at different widths embedded in the page, and the tedious resizing of the browser. So here’s a different approach which grabs all your HTML, and resizes it inside the browser when you click the width you want. It’s dead simple.

TypeScript

TypeScript starts from the syntax and semantics that millions of JavaScript developers know today.
