Fwd: jsphp.co: new bcmod function

Hey there. It struck me that some people on this list might be
interested to know about my jsphp.co project. You can check it out at:

 http://jsphp.co/

Basically it's a content management system / web-based development
environment / version control system for collaborative development of a
JavaScript library that provides useful functions (initially based on
the functions available in PHP, although I can see the scope of the
project broadening in the future).

My message below should serve to give a fairly good overview of the
system's features and what you can do with it. I.e. code editing,
version control, version diff comparisons, dependency management and
unit testing. Features not mentioned below include developer reporting
and attribution, benchmarking, release management and quality control,
searching, downloading and comments -- but those features are available too.

Regards,
John Elliot.

I was working on some software and I found myself wanting a version of
the PHP bcmod function (basically arbitrary precision modulus operator)
in JavaScript. So I went to jsphp.co to download it, only to discover
that this function hadn't been implemented yet. So I implemented it.

Over the course of the evening I went from my first version at
2012-03-16 19:27 UTC:

 http://jsphp.co/jsphp/fn/view/bcmod/462

To a version that I felt comfortable releasing by 2012-03-17 02:09 UTC:

 http://jsphp.co/jsphp/fn/view/bcmod/518

So about six hours, you can see my progress here:

 http://jsphp.co/jsphp/version/view/bcmod

And you can see the diff between the first and last versions here:

 http://jsphp.co/jsphp/fn/diff/bcmod?a=462&b=518

I configured bcmod to use the 'abs' and 'array_reverse' functions as
dependencies:

I wrote 50 unit tests:

 http://jsphp.co/jsphp/test/view/bcmod/43

And they all pass:

It feels so good having the infrastructure I need to get things done in
place, and now I have my bcmod function, and jsphp.co is just that
little bit better.

John.

p.s. if you think my code stinks and you could do a better job of
commenting or picking variable names or algorithms then swing by and
create yourself an account and get hacking! http://jsphp.co/
