Some Web Development Links for You
Not a big update.
John Resig is writing a new selector engine, sizzle, interesting
I wonder when John have the time to write code, write books, write documentation, write for his blog AND work for Mozilla. He is one productive client side coding entrepreneur. Sizzle is Work In Progress, but John claims it is 4 times faster than the jQuery Selector Engine.
YUI has a new Interaction Pattern in their library
I do not know how many times I have been part of discussions about how to implement a sign in procedure the best way. This new pattern from YUI tries to describe the characteristics of the problem. I really like Yahoo’s initiative with YUI trying to help designers and likes from revinventing the wheel time after time.
Parallax scrolling made easy with JavaScript
10 years ago something, we believed DHTML and JavaScript where the solution to everything, and there are solutions I am proud of from that time, and solutions I wouldnt mention even under torture. These days all client side stuff is focused on availability, usability and other non-relevant bilities
. Where is all the cool stuff? jParallax is cool, and from a first point of view, somewhat useless, but hey, keep em coming.
Blueprint CSS
I hate CSS. No I like separation of content, design and behaviour. But lets be honest, CSS is repetetive and often you find yourself chasing browser bugs hitting CTRL+S, ALT-TAB, CTRL-R, ALT-TAB …. That is why I believe we must minimize the rows of CSS we are actually writing, just as we try to do that with JavaScript using libraries such as jQuery, Prototype or Mootools. Blueprint CSS is interesting, I am thinking of implementing it into my mindset as the default CSS-library together with jQuery for JavaScript and Smarty for templating.
YAML (Yet Another Multicolumn Layout)
This one looks interesting as well, but the only reason I list this is because the name is the same as the configuration language YAML I will talk about below.
YAML (YAML Ain’t Markup Language)
Before I have used XML for configuration, moving more and more over to JSON, because of the benefits parsing and using it. But YAML is what I have started using for some types of configuration, because of its easiness to read, write and share. Look into it. I love it for configuring navigations.
