I’m a big fan of cheatsheets, one of the main problems with working in web-development is that you are constantly switching between different languages and platforms. Inevitably I find that my mind goes blank at certain points when I’m trying to remember a syntax format or a function name for instance. This is where a cheatsheet makes a handy reminder rather than diving into a book or online reference. Here’s a list that I’ve gathered from Cheat-Sheets.org and TechCheatSheets.com. A lot of these are by the prolific cheat-sheet creator Dave Child.

Among the listed javascript libraries which do you recommend ?
# JQuery 1.2
# mootools 1.2
# Prototype 1.5.0
# Scriptaculous Combination Effects
Or in other words which library contains the MOST functions ?
Personally I’m a jQuery person. I think it very much depends on how much skill you have in Javascript and what you are hoping to achieve. jQuery is very lightweight and I usually use it to avoid having to think about cross-browser compatibility.
If you don’t have any preference, then it’s worth looking at all of them and the extensions available for each one. In fact it’s worth looking even if you do have a preference as sometimes there’s cool stuff that’s right for you but not yet available anywhere else.
