Simon Willison

This document provides an overview of popular JavaScript libraries including Dojo Toolkit, YUI, Prototype, and jQuery. It discusses problems they aim to solve like cross-browser inconsistencies. Key features of each library are mentioned like Dojo's widgets, YUI's controls, Prototype's Ruby-like syntax, and jQuery's chaining and node selection. The document also covers ideas from the libraries like progressive enhancement, animation APIs, and leveraging hosting on CDNs.
