Resources for “Prototype”
January 1st, 2007 by Reuven M. Lerner in
The home page for Prototype is prototype.conio.net. This site contains almost nothing other than the Prototype code itself; not even documentation is located here. A reference guide to Prototype is at www.sergiopereira.com/articles/prototype.js.html, and it's a good starting point for experienced JavaScript and Ajax programmers.
The following URLs contain additional tutorials, hints and references for Prototype: www.sitepoint.com/article/painless-javascript-prototype, blogs.ebusiness-apps.com/jordan/pages/Prototype%20Library%20Info.htm, particletree.com/features/quick-guide-to-prototype and wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/Prototype
Some people have argued that Prototype causes more problems than it is worth, discouraging thoughtful use of JavaScript. For one such perspective, you can read James McParlane's article at blog.metawrap.com/blog/WhyIDontUseThePrototypejsJavaScriptLibrary.aspx.
Finally, for more information about JavaScript, I recommend David Flanagan's JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, published by O'Reilly and now in its fifth edition. My favorite Ajax book continues to be Ajax Design Patterns, also published by O'Reilly and written by Michael Mahemoff.

Feeling a bit like a Thermian? Never give up, never surrender! Someday, you could go from underdog to top dog. Just take a look at a few of the underdogs we highlight in this issue: Mutt, djbdns, Nginix, Gentoo, Xara and the program voted mostly likely to fail just a few years back—Firefox. If Firefox is not radical enough for you, check out Chef Marcel's column for some more alternatives. Having trouble mapping your program data to your relational database? If so, Rueven Lerner shows you some tricks in his At The Forge column.
Need to run GUI applications on your server in the next state? In his Paranoid Penguin column, Mick Bauer shows you how to do it securely. Kyle Rankin keeps hacking and slashing and shows you a few split screen secrets you may not be familiar with. Finally, we all know what happens next February, but only Doc knows what happens afterward.
