This was my presentation on JavaScript Animation for Silicon Valley Code Camp 09. You get the material from http://my/personal/rbiggs/Blog/default.aspx

1. JavaScript Animation
Roll Your Own

2. One-offs
meets immediate needs
probably not reusable
difficult to maintain in the long run

3. Javascript Libraries
jQuery
Script.aculo.us/Prototype
YUI
Dojo

4. Animation Libraries
$fx()
Jstween (JAVASCRIPT MOTION
TWEEN)
Jsanim

5. CSS-based Animation
animate numeric properties
modular
limited by its values

6. Collection of Methods
Can address any animation need
Must write a method for each property
Becomes very unwieldy quickly
Burdensome to remember all the
methods

7. Factory/Strategy Pattern
Small number of main methods to
calculate all needed values.
Easy to maintain and extend
