Quite the virtuous circle Open Source is. Just as I
post some of my work for others to freely use, here are some other scripts
I use which are freely available:
Soupermail -
This is an amazing and very powerful Perl script! I have used it for
all sorts of forms on several websites. On this website I use it in conjunction
with some Javascript I wrote for the contact
form to prevent my email address(es) from being revealed and to give
people an easy way to contact me. Sadly, it does not appear that Soupermail
is undergoing further development.
AWStats -
When I first started EricZander.com, I was very dissatisfied
with my host's built-in stats program. I figured there had
to be a better and free Perl script out there for analyzing
my logs. AWStats is that program. It is very actively being
developed and is very, very useful. Go check it out.
Pop-Up
Windows - Just about everyone I know who knows
Javascript well began their learning by copying other people's
scripts. When I first used this script, it was way over
my head - functions? DOM? I had no idea what they were!
But I picked the script apart, played with it, modified
it and learned a lot along the way. I use this script,
along with some other Javascript I wrote to implement the contact
form. And, anywhere there's a pop-up window on this
site, it is powered by this script.
Count
Down Timer - Found this JavaScript on the Chicago
Marathon website. I'd rather write my own from scratch
(and will at some point just as an exercise to keep my
JS skills sharp) but right now just wanted to get a timer
until graduation on the homepage.
Links -
I implemented this on a different
website a while back. Really liked it a lot and will implement
it (or maybe something better's come out since then?) on my
site at some point....
