Any advances on John Resig's "JavaScript Micro-Templating"?

Question

So I've seen this post on JavaScript Micro-Templating by John Resig and I have a need for a micro-templating engine like this.

But he saids in the post that he'll keep a more-refined version in his Secrets of the JavaScript ninja book and also mentions that he'd like to see it evolves.

So I'm wondering, is there a more stable/advanced version of this Micro-templating engine by John Resig? If so, how can I obtain it? That JavaScript book is not available in my country.

Answer 1

You can definitely purchase the pdf online when it comes out as @James points out, regardless of your country of residence.

is there a more stable/advanced version of this Micro-templating engine by John Resig?

See Rick Stahl's blog (on a bunch of clientside template engines) where he fixes an issue with single quotes in Resig's Micro-Templating engine. That's about the only improvement to the source I've seen.

Answer 2

Also see jQote2. I'll quote from the site itself:

jQote (pronounced like Star Trek’s Chakotey) is basically a rewrite of John Resig’s awesome JavaScript Micro-Templating utility. I took his code and ported it to jQuery, overhauled the parsing / conversion part and extended it’s functionality to minimize everyone’s coding efforts.
