I’ve written a lot about MooTools over the last several years, the mootorial, my own book, not to mention all the posts here and loads of documentation. So you might think that I’d look at another MooTools book on the market as competition but you’d be wrong. I love that there are other people out [...]

MooTools in 2009 in Retrospect, Thoughts on 2010 and Beyond

At the beginning of 2009, MooTools was a single thing – one library maintained by maybe 5 or 6 people who actively pushed code into it. It’s hard to reconcile this with where it is now. Let’s see, first, MooTools was split into two in February – MooTools Core and MooTools More. The principal developer, [...]

Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of addressing a large crowd of Joomla developers at their conference in New York.

2009 has been a very busy year for MooTools and I’ve spent much of my time working on things other than Clientcide (like MooTools and Cloudera Desktop). MooTools More continues to grow – the latest releases (1.2.4.1 and 1.2.4.2) are full of all sorts of new features (over 50 plugins if you exclude all the [...]

I know what you’re thinking. It’s been 3 months since I last posted. My last post was all about how you can pay it back to MooTools, and since then I’ve been taking my own medicine.

I get a lot of emails and tweets saying how awesome MooTools is. Sometimes people want to donate money or give us credit on their work in some way. Others ask how they can contribute. If you want to “pay it back” to MooTools, you can do so by: fixing bugs in our ticket list (lighthouse) submitting [...]
