Erlang Resources For Web Applications

Published on by

We have been very happy to see more and more interest for the Erlang material we were providing (our video has just reached 1000 plays).

And with the growing number of posts and tutorials, we decided it was time to give them a real dedicated Erlang page

In the future, more content and more links will be added to this page. All your feedback is also very welcome to help us create a comprehensive and complete guide.

It is really nice to see so much enthusiasm and a vibrant community starting around Erlang for web apps. Two new Erlang blogs we came across and that are definitively worth a look:

Good luck to Chad and Lloyd.

PURE Is Now Supporting Sizzle and MooTools

Published on by

Yesterday, we were looking to adopt Sizzle (the new selector engine from John Resig) for PURE.

Today, we fully support it!

From now on, we are also supporting the JS library MooTools in addition to jQuery, DOMAssistant and Prototype

Once again, a big thank you to Carlos Saltos and Borja Vazquez for the MooTools support.

The source code and examples featuring the different libraries and Sizzle are available in our master repository

Only Dojo is still hanging in our development queue and any expert is welcome to help us on the task.

Just pass by our discussion group and let us know if you’re planning on doing something in this respect.
