Jason explains the root of the problem and why no one has been able to devise a solution that makes everyone happy yet. The browsers (in their awesome drive to make browsing faster) are prefetching images and developers want to only use one image based on criteria the browser doesn't know until the layout is [...]

2012-04-10 20.11.49

Here are my notes on the presentation from Lee Brimelow of Adobe at the Atlanta Adobe Users Group Meeting: http://www.meetup.com/Adobe-User-Group-of-Atlanta/events/56200162/ What is flash for?

How I’m skinning my resposive cat // “Talking of Design” : Kev Adamson’s Blog

We need more articles like this that talk about process and how they are applying these new web mantras like ‘Mobile First’ and ‘RWD’ and ‘Design in the Browser’.

Basecamp announces that it’s new version will not support old browsers! They will of course continue to support them in their “classic” version. But this is good news and as more implement this type of policy the internet will be happy. It used to be one of the biggest pains of web development. Juggling different [...]

Vendor Prefixes – about to go south

Screen shot 2012-02-10 at 12.59.33 PM

What are “standards” coming to? Who’s guilty? Apple and Chrome: They’re supporting vendor prefixed properties like they’re a standard part of development. Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer: They should have been on the ball more. Need to push their evangelism further. Teach developers that it’s not exclusively -webkit to style elements. All the browsers: experimental [...]

As soon as you save a CSS-file, the changes are directly implemented, without having to refresh your browser. When you’re coding a website, nothing can be more frustrating than having to switch [...]

Link: My websites will only support the latest browser versions | Opinion | .net magazine

Here’s a great read about the “one version manifesto”, which states that the web is versionless and we should only be building for the latest browsers. Originally stated by Aral: “#oneversion #manifesto My websites will only support the latest versions of browsers. It’s the browser makers’ duty to get users to upgrade.” My websites will [...]

    Touch Specific Media Queries in CSS4

    Proposals in the works for new media queries specific to touch enabled devices. Examples include pointer, which will differentiate wether the device has a fine or coarse pointer (finger vs mouse) and hover, which would say if the device supports hover states.
