These are a list of plugins and libraries I've found to be interesting or useful. Mostly, they are things I've needed to bookmark, and since I felt they would be useful to other people, I've shared my bookmarks.

TCPDF - PHP class for PDFs

This is a really useful class for outputting php as a pdf. Here's why I like it:

• Fast to develop with
• No learning curve
• Nothing to install
• Supports limited HTML
• TONS of example code included

TinyMCE - Javscript WYSIWYG

By far the best javascript html composer out there. Extremely versatile, so you can use it in just about any situation.

Screenr - Screencasts for Twitter

OK, so this is really supposed to be for doing screencasts for Twitter, but I use it and just send the links to people when I need. It's web-based so it's quick.

Ninte Easy PC Setup

1. Pick your favorite software.
2. Click "Get Installer" and run it.
3. You're done!

FullCalendar

FullCalendar is a jQuery plugin that provides a full-sized, drag & drop calendar like the one below. It uses AJAX to fetch events on-the-fly for each month and is easily configured to use your own feed format (an extension is provided for Google Calendar). It is visually customizable and exposes hooks for user-triggered events (like clicking or dragging an event).

File Uploader with Drag/Drop and Status Bar

This plugin uses XHR for uploading multiple files with progress-bar in FF3.6+, Safari4+, Chrome and falls back to hidden iframe based upload in other browsers, providing good user experience everywhere.

jQuery Plugin: Quicksand

This is a really awesome plugin for building GUIs. Basically, you can switch out icons based on categories. I've been waiting for a project to use this on, and finally will be able to use it on the intranet I'm working on for UCR Extension.
