*HTML/CSS HTML5 Boilerplate - A rock-solid default for HTML5 awesome
Submitted by matt 27 days ago (more from html5boilerplate.com)After more than two years in iterative development, you get the best of the best practices baked in: cross-browser normalization, performance optimizations, even optional features like cross-domain ajax and flash. A starter apache .htaccess config file hooks you up with caching rules and preps your site to serve HTML5 video, use @font-face, and gzip.
*HTML/CSS Running your web applications offline with HTML5 AppCache
Submitted by matt 40 days ago (more from dev.opera.com)With the introduction of the W3C HTML5 application cache feature, it is possible to make your web applications run offline as well as online. This is where HTML5's new offline storage comes in. It defines a way to store files in a cache, so that when the user is offline, the browser still has access to the necessary files. These can be HTML, CSS or JavaScript files, or any other assets.
*Miscellaneous Why inline CSS and JavaScript code is such a bad thing
Submitted by matt 132 days ago (more from robertnyman.com)I almost constantly stumble across something web developers should really refrain from: inline styling and inline JavaScript code. Except for not being very pretty code, and hard to get a good overview of it, there are some real disadvantages to this: HTML file size, lack of caching, poor accessibility, difficult code maintenance.
*Miscellaneous Charles - Web Debugging Proxy
Submitted by matt 257 days ago (more from charlesproxy.com)Charles is an HTTP proxy / HTTP monitor / Reverse Proxy that enables a developer to view all of the HTTP and SSL / HTTPS traffic between their machine and the Internet. This includes requests, responses and the HTTP headers (which contain the cookies and caching information). Also lets you simulate slower internet connections by throttling.
*Programming HTTP Caching
Submitted by matt 287 days ago (more from peej.co.uk)HTTP has a very thorough and well supported caching mechanism, but in this age of the dynamic Web page, it often goes unused when it is needed the most. So what do we, as Web programmers, need to do to make sure our pages are cached correctly? Let's have a look.
*Programming I'm Going To Scale My Foot Up Your Ass
Submitted by matt 1 year and 151 days ago (more from teddziuba.com)Engineers love to talk about scalability. It makes us feel like the bad ass, dick-swingin' motherfuckers that we wish we could be...Shut up about scalability, no one is using your app anyway.
*Programming Prefetching JavaScript (or anything) with jQuery
Submitted by matt 1 year and 175 days ago (more from orip.org)While users are logging into a web site, I thought why not prefetch some JavaScript files they'll be needing on the next page? I could load them with Ajax and this will be invisible to users.
*Programming JavaScript makes relative times compatible with caching
Submitted by matt 1 year and 187 days ago (more from 37signals.com)It’s easy to think that the relative-time style of “this comment was written 15 minutes ago” is incompatible with caching. How are you supposed to cache something if the text changes every minute? Static pages with JavaScripts, that’s how! To make this trick work, I embed the time stamp for a given entry in the DOM as a custom attribute that I can query for conversion
*Miscellaneous 3 reasons why you should let Google host jQuery for you
Submitted by matt 1 year and 191 days ago (more from encosia.com)I urge you to use the Google AJAX Libraries content delivery network to serve jQuery to your website users directly from Google’s network of datacenters. Doing so has several advantages over hosting jQuery on your server(s): decreased latency, increased parallelism, and better caching.
*Programming Optimizing JavaScript for Execution Speed
Submitted by matt 1 year and 200 days ago (more from websiteoptimization.com)JavaScript can benefit from many of the same speed optimization techniques that are used in other languages, like C and Java. Algorithms and data structures, caching frequently used values, for loop unrolling and hoisting, removing tail recursion, and strength reduction techniques all have a place in your JavaScript optimization toolbox.
