“Pssstt, hey buddy.” – creepy dude in a dark alley.

“Aa, me?” – you, looking around and pointing to yourself.

“Ya you. You wanna hear know the secret about the future?” – creepy dude you think is going to rob you

“Aa sure, strange guy talking to me in a dark alley.” – you, still a little weirded out

“It’s mobile man. Mobile man! Mobile man!” – creepy dude in a dark alley yelling at you

“Um, ya, I know that creepy guy. Stop yelling, geez.” – you, discounting the creepy dudes prediction

“Pssstt, hey buddy.” – creepy dude again

“You know, I’m standing right next to you right?” – you again

“Ya, well, you wanna know know another secret about the future?” – creepy guy who won’t go away

“Sure man, make it quick.” – you turning and walking away

“It’s JavaScript man! JavaScript man!” - creepy guy yelling again

“I know you idiot, now go away before you tell me Flash is dead too.” – you

Anyway, ya, if you’ve been living under a rock that is buried in the center of the earth inside a Fraggle’s closet; mobile devices are kind of the a big thing in the web design world. This makes JavaScript kind of a big deal. Now, JS has always been the third basic pillar of web design and development, but mobile is making it almost a necessity.

JavaScript libraries (with their ease of implementation) are hugely popular and a new one has popped up that could potentially be a juggernaught in the mobile web development realm – QUOjs. QUOjs is a new open source, light weight (14k) object-oriented JS library that offers a ton of cool stuff for mobile web development from gestures to DOM manipulation.

They claim it loves mobile (unlike the other JS libraries) but does it love mobile as much as YOU do!? Look like a promising little tool to add to the arsenal. Any tool that embraces the mobile web is a definite keeper to me – assuming it’s got quality. Go check it out and let me know your thoughts, I just started playing with it on a small project so I haven’t got into it real deep yet.
