    jQuery made me love javascript where I once hated it.

    Very nice video.

    I thought the chart covering different frameworks and their number of global variables was interesting… It shows the different approaches they have within their libraries.

    I’m not sure the reasoning behind Microsoft Ajax framework, but I know Mootools and Prototype believe strongly in prototyping native javascript elements to extend their functionality. I believe this typically will give better speed results for larger tasks, but makes them not play so well in “uncontrolled foreign environments.”

    Cool to hear jQuery has tried to ensure its framework can coincide peacefully with others.
