Every Friday I’ll post my favourite reads of the week. These will range from tutorials to scripts I find on the web, and every now and funny stuff I find on the web. Please enjoy and comment if you like it!

2. Jquery for forms
Next week I will post a tutorial on how to use jquery and javascript to create a form and validate it, but for now, here are the resources I used:
Jquery Validation
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation
Jquery Date Picker
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker
The jquery plugins page hosts a big chunk of very interesting stuff, have a browse through and see for yourself!
3. Jquery ‘Notify bar’
It looks like this week is jquery week I haven’t used this myself yet, but this neat jquery script looks very interesting, I will certainly use it myself in future projects! It displays a notify bar, similar to the one in Twitter.

I’m currently working on a nice Wordpress powered classifieds site. The client required a simple way of integrating social network sharing. Really interesting app

5. Vintage ads browser
Interesting site created by Philipp Lenssen from Germany and it hosts a big collection of vintage ads with a lot of different categories, raging from alcohol ads to, believe it or not, race-related ads. Really interesting stuff, and if you like it, have a look at its sister site, cover browser
