Here’s a great “HTML5 Love Story” about the team at Sencha, who is passionate about using proper technologies for the one open web, who knew better than to trust that the failure of Facebook to create a reliable HTML5 app for users was because HTML5 wasn’t ready (as Facebook claimed).

Apple "support" with fixed position layouts

This really echo's the reasons why I still have trouble with the 'thoughts on flash' mentality (although, I know flash is irrelevant here).

Support to apple and support [...]

Link: Responsive Images: How they Almost Worked and What We Need

Mat discusses the options for getting responsive images along with responsive designs. We can use various means (server-side, client-side, mobile-first, html5 data attributes, cookies…), but none are fully satisfactory, especially with new browsers prefetching images before cookies can be set or html is even fully read and parsed. He states that bandwidth sniffing is… a [...]

Interactive Physics Animations Javascript Canvas 17

canvas17

I’m really enjoying giving a control panel of sorts to the end user and letting them control the physics rules of their canvas.

    I’ve published another article over on wpdaily.co exploring the concept of hooks. I remember when starting out that people kept mentioning hooks and filters and actions and… it took a while to grasp what they each meant.

    Reading my wpdaily.co updates today and saw this post talking about WordPress theme features. Eric explains the debate: Generally-speaking, the conversations have always circled around features: There are those that believe every feature you could ever imagine should be included like text color, font selector, and more.
