Session Abstract:

There are many great libraries and tools available these days that make web development easier for hand-coders. In fact, as JavaScript has gone from being frowned upon to practically a requirement so have some of the tools mentioned in this presentation.

Prototype is a JavaScript library that extends the Document Object Model (DOM) to make developing interactive web sites much easier and more reliable than before.

Scriptaculous is a library built upon Prototype that adds very useful tools to enhance the user interface of any web site including drag and drop as well animation effects.

Many popular companies including Apple, Digg, 37Signals and others use these tools and have better looking and more usable web sites because of them.

This presentation will introduce the tools and show some examples of how they can be used and how we have used them in Extension Information Technology
