Object Oriented jQuery With MooTools (Pigs Take Flight)
March 04, 2010If Element and jQuery as a whole are practically the same, what's the big difference? Remove the overlap of the two frameworks and you're left with the inheritance API of MooTools.

Event Delegation With Mootools--Quit Selecting All Those Elements!
January 16, 2010Event delegation rules the school. Instead of adding events to 300 elements you just add an event to the parent element and it'll delegate the event down to it's children, like every good parent would.
