I have just posted several scripts on my web site, <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.awaretek.com/jscity">http://www.awaretek.com/jscity</a><!-- m --> , which are tools to be used in Decision Analysis. That is, they are rule based scripts to help a person make various kinds of decisions in a rational way. They are not black art, but just tools to help analyze situations logically.
Very easy to use, they are a work in progress, and many more will be added soon. For now, they include a General Decision Analysis tool, to help in deciding between any two options on any subject; and then some simpler tools to help one understand how the General Decision Module is meant to be used. These simpler Modules include two separate scripts to help on deciding which programming languages to learn and use, based on Criteria and Preferences; and two fun little scripts to help one decide which basketball team will win any particular game, and then another to analyze football games in the same manner.
I would very much appreciate any feedback. These are free to all, open source, and hopefully easy and fun. As I say, this is just a start. I am working on a much more complete and capable General Decision Module. The principle has been proven as the more capable programs are all running in Python, but I am now translating them all to JavaScript because of the much greater ease of distribution and use on the web; and enhancing them and then adding many more modules on various topics.
The web site also has a web spider that scrapes the web daily and posts any new JavaScript web articles, sourceforge projects etc.
