Hi there!
I'm just starting out with javascript. My background is in
c/python/java/ruby/perl. I have an old and steady relationship with
emacs and the command line. I've tried a couple of IDEs, but it never
lasted.
Coming to javascript I'm at a bit of a loss. What bothers me most is
the inability to test stuff from the command line. I guess the first
thing I want to do is get acquainted with a javascript unit testing
framework. Google tells me that there are three such frameworks, two
named jsunit and one from script.aculo.us. Which one has momentum?
Which one am I likely to digg, being an emacs kind of guy?
And what about debuggers? I've never really liked them. Usually I just
do unit testing and printf statements, but considering that javascript
is harder to interact with from the command line, maybe I should learn
a debugger after all? Is Venkman the thing to go with in that area or
what?
TIA alex
