Programming for the future of mobile(jclaes.blogspot.com)

submitted by JefClaes(650) 6 months, 18 days ago

I have been working on something small on the side lately. I hardly have anything to show for it though, most of it is still being shaped in my head. Anyhow, a very important part of the front-end is built using jQuery mobile. Although the framework hasn't been released - release candidates are available though -, it's something you should start looking into today. Why?

submitted by adron(835) 7 months, 29 days ago

A few days ago, my friend Aeden Jameson (@daliful) asks, “you want to work through a code kata this weekend?” I thought, well yeah, that’d be cool. So we met at Cafe Fiore and hacked out the beginning of a Kata based on the Roman to Arabic and Arabic to Roman Numerals.

Responsive Web Design - Stop and Think(www.codersbarn.com)

submitted by Bognit(2125) 8 months, 28 days ago

This article by Ethan Marcotte on Responsive Web Design has been widely touted as the designer's panacea for all things mobile. Other leading designers such as Jeffrey Zeldman and Andy Clarke have all jumped on the band wagon. Considering the amount of influence these guys have on young designers, it saddens me that leading designers, of all people, would sacrifice their art on the altar of a quick fix. read more...

submitted by adron(835) 9 months, 22 days ago

HTML5 is a collect of individual features, that currently are either supported or not by the current array of browsers.

The following are some detection techniques that are in use today: Input Types: HTML5 defines over a dozen new input types for use in web forms.
