Javascript/Ajax Cheat Sheets

My day job at the moment basically involves looking after a dozen or so developers, and ensuring our project works out for everyone involved.

One of the best ways I can do that is to look after my devs, and to try and get them as productive as possible.

There's no doubt in my mind the best way to get someone productive is to try and place them in a situation where they can enjoy their work; either by removing the roadblocks slowing them down, or more preferably, by improving their own skillsets.

Cheat Sheets are an awesome way of doing both, as they provide access to information quicker than Google (what?? you can find something quicker than searching the web for it??), and over time the information on the sheet becomes ingrained in the person, increasng their own prowess.

I've always had a copy of the C# keyboard bindings and ASP.Net Lifecycle up on the walls, and after finding this post via LazyCoder, I can see some javascript cheat sheets appearing tommorrow.

One more thing to keep the team and I on task that bit more often.

Maybe it should be an Industry Standard??

The kiloWTF/sec that is.

You know, little leftovers from a past age that are no longer relevant???

Like the Caps Lock key :)

I can't remember the last time I used the Caps Lock key for more than activating in-game Voice Chat in 1st person shooters.... well that and stuffing up either my password or giving me the privelege of re-writing the half a sentence I just typed aFTER KNOCKING IT while near the letter a.

Until now, because a mate at work has introduced me to the Caps Unlocker. This little baby is free (as in beer), lives in the systrayNotfication Area, and immediately turns off capslock when it's bumped.

Another one of lifes little annoyances out of the way.
