Featured Article : JavaScript and Mobile Development Tutorials
One of the best things about my job with the Adobe Developer Connection is that I get to work with a ton of great authors writing about topics that I personally care about. Over the past months, we've already managed to publish a long list of fantastic tutorials and articles on JavaScript and mobile development using web standards and we've got a lot more in the pipeline that I am very excited about.
Nonetheless, one thing we aren't always good at, but working to improve, is offering you a way to easily find these articles, especially once they are no longer new. Sure, we have a tag browser, but you would be forgiven for not knowing it existed prior to today. You can also follow our articles via RSS but, at the moment, there's no way to do so by topic (as far as I know).
To try to temporarily remedy this, I wanted to share with my readers some of our recent articles covering JavaScript and mobile. While this isn't every article and video the ADC published on these these topics, it is every one I have personally recruited for our site - and I am, quite honestly, proud of every one. You can also learn about new articles via our ADC blog, as I post the "story" of each one as they are published. Hopefully you've found these articles useful - and will check the HTML5 and CSS3 developer center each week for new articles like these.

Lots of new libraries and plugins this week as well as a number of great tutorials on HTML5 features like application cache, audio, drag and drop file handling and requestAnimationFrame.

Lately you may have been hearing a lot about Adobe Shadow. It seems that I wasn't the only one who took some time to finally getting around to adding it to my workflow. The thing is that, once you do, you start to see how much Shadow improves that workflow when testing browser based applications on devices. While I only have a few devices, it seems obvious that the more devices you are testing, the more time this saves.
This post will cover how to set up Shadow on your desktop and your devices and then discuss some of its capabilities and, also, some of its current limitations. Keep in mind that this product is still in a preview release on Adobe Labs, so limitations are to be expected and many may be resolved in future updates. Also, as I was writing this, Christian Cantrell released a similar type of tutorial covering Shadow but in video format.

So get reading.
