Code Builder for jQuery AJAX (Calling Web Services)
Getting stuck in the cycle of code-build-test, code-build-test… can drain you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. In the back of your mind you know the clock is ticking and you are not making headway. Of course the boss keeps sticking his sweaty head into your tiny cube and asking, "Any progress?" What a jerk. The intern who is supposed to be helping you keeps asking stupid questions he could find on Google: the lazy meathead. The department secretary just told you they lost your time sheet so you'll have to fill out another one: Too bad you didn't make a copy. Your waist is getting thicker and your hair is getting thinner.

Calling WCF Services with jQuery…Stripped Down

jQuery Selector Tester and Cheat Sheet
I've always appreciated these tools: Expresso and XPath Builder. They make designing regular expressions and XPath selectors almost fun! Did I say fun? I meant less painful. Being able to paste/load text and then interactively play with the search criteria is infinitely better than the code/compile/run/test cycle. It's faster and you get a much better feel for how the expressions work.

Goodbye Ajax Toolkit, Hello jQuery UI
Like most developers, I love finding tools that do my work for me and make me look good. And, like most developers, I am extremely wary of adding too much outside crap to a project which can make maintaining it a nightmare. You may end up not only maintaining your own code but someone else's code, or worse, not being able to update the project because a third-party control won't let you.
