#brunch.io

JavaScript has become a very popular tool for web developers all around the world today. You can build lots of projects such as web applications, mobile applications, and so much more. However, some tasks are very important in the development process, such as minification, unit testing, and web page refreshing. These tasks are not just…

It seems like the never-ending waterfall of JavaScript…

I've spent the past month or so deep in client-side Javascript frameworks, such as Backbone.js, and wanted to throw out the current development tools I'm working with.

I'm mostly using CoffeeScript, which I really enjoy, but there are times where it makes sense to use good old-fashioned Javascript.

Note - I am working on OS X, but most of these items are cross-platform or have an alternative solution for those on Windows and/or Linux.

Brunch - brunch.io

LiveReload - livereload.com

Sublime Text 2 - www.sublimetext.com/2

Sublime Package Control - wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control

JetBrains WebStorm 4.0 (not as much as Sublime Text) - www.jetbrains.com/webstorm

Nothing on this list is ground-breaking or terribly new, but you may be able to take a couple of these items and integrate them into your current workflow. At the very lease, they are all worth a glance if you've never worked with them before.
