Very interesting and seems very similar to jQuery.

Has a similar syntax for example

   1:  glow.ready(function() {
   2:  
   3:  });

this is the first bit you put for all Glow scripts. In jQuery scripts you start them with

   1:   $(document).ready(function() {
   2:  
   3:   });

So very similar… What I have found with Glow it is more focused towards coding visual widgets as they call them on the Glow website. The widgets include, AutoSuggest, Carousel, Editor, Panel, Slider, Timetable and many more. They are also really easy to code, for example Carousel is the one I have been messing around with and with less than a 100 lines of Javascript had a pretty basic Carousel going.

Documentation seems to be good as well but there is a distinct lack of user submitted examples. Whereas with jQuery there’s loads!!!

I believe once Glow starts to get more widely used it is going to be very popular!

More posts will come regarding Glow in the near future…

There’s 30 levels, I think I completed it in an hour or two. Only had to look up about 3 levels for clues. Worth checking out…
