Where is all the Prototype Documentation?
In the recent blowup between Prototype and JQuery, one of the self criticisms coming from the Prototype community was that there isn't enough good documentation of the framework. I don't think that's true. It's simply that the resources are just so spread out that it's hard to find them. Here are some of the resources I used for learning how to use Prototype. Maybe you'll find them useful too.
- Quick Guide to Prototype - based off of v 1.3.1, but still the best place to start.
- Developer Notes for Prototype - great and exhaustive resource with code examples covering the width and breadth of the framework.
- Overview of Prototype - another handy overview of Prototype along with some notes about platform support, etc.
- Prototype.js Documentation Blog - a new blog with frequent links to articles about Prototype.
- Painless Javascript Using Prototype - a Sitepoint step-by-step tutorial.
- Prototype Meets Ruby: A Look at Enumerable, Array and Hash - code heavy look at several Prototype constructs that were inspired by Ruby.
- Working with Events in Prototype - by the same author as above. Based on 1.5.0_pre0
- Creating an Accordian Widget Class with Prototype - really meaty tutorial that relies on 1.5.0_rc0.
- Max Kiesler's 42 Recent Ajax Tutorials - check out the Ajax and Prototype Tutorials section.
- Prototype: Easing AJAX's Pain - From xml.com, another good intro to Prototype
- Low Pro Javascript with Prototype - Blog article on using Dan Webb's extensions to Prototype.
Of course you'll need some information on why not to use Prototype and what it's limitations are. That last is one issue I have with Prototype: there is no standard answer to the question "on the low end, which browser versions does prototype support?" More on that later.
