Top-Rated JavaScript Blogs

Question

I am currently trying to find some blogs that talk (almost solely) on the JavaScript Language, and this is due to the fact that most of the time, bloggers with real life experience at work or at home development can explain more clearly and concisely certain quirks and hidden features than most 'Official Language Specifications'

Below find a list of blogs that are JavaScript based (will update the list as more answers flow in):

• DHTML Kitchen, by Garrett Smith
• Robert's Talk, by Robert Nyman
• EJohn, by John Resig (of jQuery)
• Crockford's JavaScript Page, by Douglas Crockford
• Dean.edwards.name, by Dean Edwards
• Ajaxian, by various (@Martin)
• The JavaScript Weblog, by various
• SitePoint's JavaScript and CSS Page, by various
• AjaxBlog, by various
• Eric Lippert's Blog, by Eric Lippert (talks about JScript and JScript.Net)
• Web Bug Track, by various (@scunliffe)

Which top-rated blogs am I currently missing from the above list, that you think should be imperative to any JavaScript developer to read (and follow) concurrently?

Answer 1

I find that http://ajaxian.com/ has a lot of useful information about javascript, ajax, and so on.

Answer 2

It isn't entirely a JavaScript blog but Web Bug Track has a lot of useful info about how and where browsers fall down with JavaScript.

For example most of the basic DOM methods in IE are broken.

Answer 3

The mir.aculo.us blog

Continuing intermittent incoherency (Alex Russell of Dojo fame)

Ariel Flesler (from jQuery dev team)

Answer 4

nihilogic.dk, by Jacob Seidelin
