What does “The CSS Awards” even mean?
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Bellow is a screen shot of my issues with “The CSS Awards”. The rating system makes little sense. When i saw the name, I immediately questioned how you can give an award based on CSS which by comparison is a rigid and unintelligent language. It makes things pretty, and it isn’t actually even smart in the way it goes about doing so. Absolutely no logic rules are involved. Simply Select, declare, instruct. In terms of CSS, there are of course many ways of doing things, but like Photoshop, not any one way is really a default best way. Certain cases call for certain methods. I like the patch tool in PS. My co-worker prefers the clone stamp. Both have similar effects. The same goes with CSS. A lot of times its a matter of preference on how to tackle an issue.
Video Intro Into jQuery by John Resig
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008
If you’re interested in leaning jQuery, the “Write less do more library”, or maybe you need help being convinced it’s the Javascript framework you want to devote your time and energy to. Here’s a pretty in depth video intro to jQuery by the creator John Resig given at the AJAX Experience 2008 conference.
He assumes you don’t know anything about jQuery and haven’t spent much time with it. Making it maybe not the most ideal or beneficial video for any jQuery graduates but it is always good to hear straight from the creator what the product does even if it’s just to receive affirmation that you know what you’re doing.
