Developers generally neglect JavaScript testing because there’s really nothing out there that let’s you simulate user interactions easily.  Here comes the Test plugin (Thanks to Brian Moschel from JavaScriptMVC for suggesting this resource).

It lets you simulate every major DOM event, as well as some combination events like Write and Drag, and then run functional and unit tests in a separate console window.

Test plugin saves serious development time with features like using sample data to simulating AJAX functionality, writing text or dragging an element.

Here is a sample test function:

test_check : function() {
    // simulate clicking the checkbox
    // params has the todo element
    var params = this.TodoCheckClick();
    // assert the color change occurs as expected
    this.assert_equal("#808080", params.element.parentNode.style.color);
},
test_uncheck : function() {
    // click the checkbox again to uncheck it
    var params = this.TodoCheckClick();
    // assert the color change goes away
    this.assert_equal(”, params.element.parentNode.style.color);
},

Dock menus are very handy when it comes to limited space in designs. They just appear when needed and this idea expands the website area so much.

Webber 2.0 Dock Menu is a nice JavaScript docking menu which is easy to implement and does not require any JavaScript frameworks.

It is built with the Philippe Maegerman’s tween class. The logic of the menu is very simple:  an empty div which determines the mouseover area for the docking effect and that’s it. Simple but very functional.

There are projects which I’m using Subversion and some that I don’t. There are also other things which are very valuable to me like bookmarks, code snippets & more.

And every designer, developer, for sure, lost a few days work because of not backing up the files regularly.

I have started using Mozy Online Backup Free version as a backup solution for my dev. files in general. It provides 2GB space for free, very easy to configure, can take scheduled backups and works silently.

It is an impressive product as it totally reduces the risk of losing data. And works both in Windows and Mac.

There are also other versions of Mozy:

• Mozy Free - 2GB - free - personal use
• Mozy Home - unlimited space ($4.95/month)
• Mozy Pro & Mozy Enterprise with more features like SQL or server backup

P.S. This post is an advertorial (and I really like the product ).

MySQL Workbench is a cross-platform, visual database design tool developed by MySQL. It is the highly anticipated successor application of the DBDesigner4 project.

This tool helps you to see the relations, indexes, tables of your MySQL database as a clear snapshot. With its simple yet effective interface, you can easily get used to MySQL Workbench.

For any developer who uses MySQL, this tool saves so much time for concentrating on other tasks rather than data modeling. You can also print the diagrams and use that sheet for faster coding (that’s what I do).

It is definitely a must use.
