“King of eye candy”

Kevin Yank has written an article about important JavaScript frameworks out there, and has some nice words on Prototype and script.aculo.us:

Because Prototype is so good at making low-level scripting less painful, a number of higher-level libraries have been built with Prototype as a basis.

script.aculo.us is the king of eye candy, offering easy-to-apply animated “cinematic effects” that can be used to enhance most web applications.

While it’s called JavaScript Libraries and Patterns: Yahoo! Does AJAX, the article really provides a short overview on Dojo, Prototype, AjaxTK and obviously the new Yahoo UIL stuff, plus has some advice on design patterns.

If you’re new to JavaScript frameworks, it’s a good introduction. For my part, I’d advise to choose Prototype, of course. 🙂
