Compsci 108, Working with Javascript

To work with Javascript you should download the appropriate version of Aptana for your platform. The download is a special version of Eclipse that incorporates many Javascript libraries and facilitates Ajax development. Although you can add an Aptana plugin to an existing version of Eclipse, Aptana doesn't currently support Europa/Eclipse 3.3 except in beta which for me as of November 6, 2007 means it's not supported when I tried to use it in Europa on my Mac.

Aptana tutorials

We'll be using scriptaculous which is one of the included-by-Aptana libraries. Scriptaculous relies on Prototype, also included.

Manning publication on Scriptaculous and Prototype -- an ebook I licensed for my use, which I interpret to mean as part of class. Please don't print this book yourself.
