John Resig - Using Waifu2x to Upscale Japanese Prints
In my spare time I’ve been working on a database of Japanese prints for a little over 3.5 years now. I’m fully aware that I’ve never actually written about this, personally very important, project on my blog — until now. Unfortunately this isn’t a post explaining that project. I do still hope to write more about the intricacies of it, some day, but until that time you can watch this talk I gave at
John Resig - Next Steps in 2011
Today I’m announcing a major change in my life: I’m leaving Mozilla Corporation and joining Khan Academy. I joined the Mozilla Corporation in January of 2007, just over 4+ years ago, as a JavaScript Evangelist. During my time at the company I had an amazing opportunity to promote JavaScript. It’s been an incredible experience working with everyone at Mozilla. The company is easily one of the most
John Resig - Learning from Twitter
An issue popped up on Twitter this past week that caused the web site to be generally unusable for many users. It appears as if attempts to scroll were unbearably slow and caused the site to be unresponsive. The Twitter team investigated and determined that if they reverted the version of jQuery that they used back to 1.4.2 from 1.4.4 the site would be responsive again. After more investigation th
John Resig - Spring 2010 jQuery Talks
I gave a number of talks this spring on jQuery and especially on some of the recent additions made in jQuery 1.4. Below are all the slides and demos that I’ve given. The conferences / meetups that I spoke at (or will speak at, in the case of MIX), and the talks that I gave, are as follows: Webstock (Wellington, NZ) (Introduction to jQuery Workshop, Things You Might Not Know About jQuery) Future of
John Resig - .nodeName Case Sensitivity
When working with the DOM .nodeName property there are two hard-and-fast rules that most people abide by: The node names of HTML elements are always uppercase, even if they’re explicitly created using lowercase characters. <html> will result in a .nodeName === "HTML" (see the HTML 5 draft). The node names of XML elements are always in the original case, as specified when they’re created. <data> wi
John Resig - Deep Tracing of Internet Explorer
After reading a recent post by Steve Souders concerning a free tool called dynaTrace Ajax, I was intrigued. It claimed to provide full tracing analysis of Internet Explorer 6-8 (including JavaScript, rendering, and network traffic). Giving it a try I was very impressed. I tested against a few web sites but got the most interesting results running against the JavaScript-heavy Gmail in Internet Expl
John Resig - Google Groups is Dead
As far as I’m concerned, Google Groups is dead. For the jQuery project we’ve run all of our community discussions through Google Group mailing lists for the past three years. At this moment the main jQuery group is the second most popular programming group (next to Android developers) clocking in at over 21,000 members. We also have the jQuery Dev and jQuery UI groups. The main jQuery group averag
John Resig - Talks at the 2009 jQuery Conference
This past weekend was the 2009 jQuery Conference here in Boston. It was an incredible event – 300 people attended and a ton of discussion, collaboration, and learning happened. Nearly the entire jQuery project team had the opportunity to meet for two days prior to the conference and hash a number of things out – figuring out most of the planning for the upcoming year. The core dev team also had th
John Resig - 50% Off Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja
I’ve been slowly working on a new JavaScript book that covers many of the specifics behind how and why JavaScript libraries are designed they way that they are – titled Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja. I’m still working on the book – I have four chapters left to write – and am hoping to have it completed this year. Incidentally Manning Publishing is running a special (today only!) offering the ebo
John Resig - Eulogy to _why
Unfortunately I’m short on time at the moment (trying to launch a project this week) but I have to say, at least, a few words about the hacker and artist _why. At this moment, _why’s online presence appears to be no more. All of his sites and code are gone. This includes, and is not limited to: http://twitter.com/_why http://github.com/why http://whytheluckystiff.net/ http://poignantguide.net/ htt
John Resig - HTML 5 Parsing
One of the biggest wins of the HTML 5 recommendation is a detailed specification outlining how parsing of HTML documents should work. For too many years browsers have simply tried to guess and copy what others were doing in hopes that their parser would work well enough to not cause too many problems with HTML markup found in the wild. While some parts of HTML 5 are certainly more contentious than
John Resig - Computing with JavaScript Web Workers
Web Workers are, undoubtedly, the coolest new feature to arrive in the latest version of web browsers. Web Workers allow you to run JavaScript in parallel on a web page, without blocking the user interface. Normally in order to achieve any sort of computation using JavaScript you would need to break your jobs up into tiny chunks and split their execution apart using timers. This is both slow and u
John Resig - Unimpressed by NodeIterator
I just posted a run down of some of the new DOM Traversal APIs in Firefox 3.5. The first half of the post is mostly a recap of my old Element Traversal API post. The second half of the post is all about the new NodeIterator API that was just implemented. For those that are familiar with some of the DOM TreeWalker APIs this will look quite familiar. It’s my opinion, though, that this API is, at bes
John Resig - ECMAScript 5 Objects and Properties
ECMAScript 5 is on its way. Rising from the ashes of ECMAScript 4, which got scaled way back and became ECMAScript 3.1, which was then re-named ECMAScript 5 (more details)- comes a new layer of functionality built on top of our lovable ECMAScript 3. Update: I’ve posted more details on ECMAScript 5 Strict Mode, JSON, and More. There are a few new APIs included in the specification but the most inte
John Resig - How do Mobile Browsers Behave?
One of my favorite sources of active mining is that of Peter-Paul Koch digging in to mobile browsers and how they behave. Sponsored by Vodaphone to do a study of various mobile devices and their respective browsers, PPK has been doing some serious analysis of what the landscape looks like. Armed with a battery of tests he analyzes the various browsers manually (a painstaking task) but it yields so
John Resig - More Secrets of JavaScript Libraries
This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending and presenting at the annual SXSW conference, down in Austin, TX. I participated in a panel discussion called ‘More Secrets of JavaScript Libraries’ (a follow-up panel to last year’s talk). The synopsis was as follows: In a reprise from last year’s popular panel – the JavaScript libraries authors are getting together again to impart their what they
John Resig - Talk: The DOM is a Mess
I gave a talk last week at Yahoo (at the request of the YUI team) all about the DOM. I outlined some of the reasons why the current situation is such a mess, outline some strategies for working around it, and then give some examples of real world code that’s being implemented in libraries today.

John Resig - A Web Developer’s Responsibility
It’s safe to say that the biggest tax on a web developer is spending so much time dealing with browser bugs and incompatibilities. Thus it has become the favorite past-time of all web developers to complain about having to deal with them. Browser bugs are annoying, frustrating, and make your job incredibly difficult. Because browser bugs are so frustrating and such a burden on top of normal develo
John Resig - JavaScript Language Abstractions
The other day I was looking at pyjamas (which bills itself as a GWT-like tool for Python). I was also reminded of the semi-recent release of Objective-J. Pyjamas, GWT, and Objective-J all hinge around a central concept: Abstracting away the authoring of JavaScript-heavy web applications by allowing the developer to program entirely in their natively language (be it Python, Java, or an Objective-C-
John Resig - Native JSON Support is Required
There’s a JavaScript feature that I feel needs much more attention: Native JSON support in browsers. It’s something that should be a JavaScript language feature and yet no browser, or standards body, has defined, specified, or implemented what exactly it is, or should be. On top of this, it is one of the most (implicitly) requested language additions. A recent ticket was opened for the Gecko engin
