I am interested in doing some projects that involve heavy use of JavaScript. Namely HTML5 based canvas games, potentially using node.js as well. I am interested in learning modern best practices, tools and resources for JavaScript.
JavaScript is tough to research because you end up wading through a lot of really outdated material, hailing from the times that "JavaScript" was a four letter word.
If you are heavily involved in JavaScript programming...
- What text editor or IDE do you use?
- What unit testing framework do you use?
- Do you use Selenium, or something else?
- What other tools do you use?
- What communities exist that discuss recent advents in JavaScript?
- What books do you read/refer to?
- What blogs do you read?
