Ejecta is a fast, open source JavaScript, Canvas & Audio implementation for iOS. Think of it as a Browser that can only display a Canvas element. Ejecta is like a Browser without the Browser. It’s specially crafted for Games and Animations. It has no DIVs, no Tables, no Forms – only Canvas and Audio elements. This focus makes it fast.
JavaScript code is executed directly by a JavaScript VM, the HTML5 Canvas API is implemented in native code with OpenGL, Audio is implemented with OpenAL. Several other APIs (touch, accelerometer, localStorage) behave like those in a real browser.
Many HTML5 Games run out of the box, or with minimal modifications – with better performance, better sound support, Game Center integration and more.

Kiandra has recently announced the open sourcing of Delta jQuery UI theme that you’re going to love. It’s free for commercial, personal and educational use as part of the MIT or GPL license.
The theme makes use of CSS3 gradients and some @2x images to ensure it’s retina display friendly. The vibrant colour scheme means “Delta” works on both light and dark backgrounds. Change the toggle in the top right hand corner of the demo to see it in action.
This theme can act as a starting point for other smart cookies to create their own visually engaging jQuery UI themes. You can fork this theme over on the GitHub repository.

Meny is a three dimensional and space efficient menu. Meny works best in browsers with support for CSS 3D transforms, although it falls back on 2D animation for older browsers. Supports touch events for mobile devices. Meny requires two HTML elements to work: a menu and the page contents. The class names are not used by the library so chose anything you want.
Move your mouse towards the arrow, or swipe in from the arrow if you’re on a touch device, to open. Meny can be positioned on any side of the screen: top, right, bottom, left.
Requirements: JavaScript Framework

SlideControl jQuery Plugin allows you to easily make custom sliders for range inputs. You can set the speed, which controls the speed of the animation for a slider reszing. You can also set the LowerBound and UpperBound, which is the minimum and maximum amount the slider can be set to.
The CSS file included should be pretty straight-forward. You can change the look of your slide controllers in there from background color to size to how the handle looks. Just take a look around and it should be pretty easy to make changes.

Currently, people are managing dependencies, such as JavaScript libraries, manually. This sucks, and we want to change it. Bower is a package manager for the web. Bower lets you easily install assets such as images, CSS and JavaScript, and manages dependencies for you.
In a nutshell, Bower is a generic tool which will resolve dependencies and lock packages down to a version. It runs over Git, and is package-agnostic. A package may contain JavaScript, CSS, images, etc., and doesn’t rely on any particular transport (AMD, CommonJS, etc.).
Bower then makes available a simple programmatic API which exposes the package dependency model, so that existing build tools (like Sprockets, LoadBuilder, curls.js, Ender, etc.) can consume it and build files accordingly.

Grunt is a task-based command line build tool for JavaScript projects. It has the following predefined tasks that you can use in your project: Concatenate files, Validate files with JSHint, Minify files with UglifyJS, Run unit tests with nodeunit and etc. In addition to the built-in tasks, you can create your own tasks. Don’t like a built-in task’s default behavior? Override it.
While Node.js was designed to support highly-concurrent asynchronous-IO-driven web servers, it was clearly NOT designed to make command-line build tools. But none of that matters, because grunt works. Grunt is available as an npm module. IT is licensed under the MIT license.
