Link: The developer’s guide to browser adoption rates

Posted on by Evan Mullins

Insight into the speeds of browser adoption. A stat to be very interested in if we want to start using more of the new html5/css3 features on production sites. The sad story though, is that IE adoption rates are actually getting worse over time, unlike the rest of the browsers which are becoming very fast.

Link: Browser Market Pollution: IE[x] is the new IE6

Posted on by Evan Mullins

Worrisome points here. The release cycle IE is now projecting is decent, new browsers more often. But what’s far more important than shipping frequency, is the browser half-life; soon there will be way too many configurations of IE for anyone in the web production industry to stay sane. IE10 comes out soon and IE6, IE7 and especially IE8 aren’t going anywhere. So each new IE browser, even if it were clean of bugs, still does nothing to make IE better. No one is using them. Not to mention the rendering mode in each IE browser is different than the last – bringing in bugs almost as random or weird than the ones it reportedly fixes.

Link: Thinking about CSS Architecture

Posted on by Evan Mullins

Some great thoughts on CSS for any level. Great idea to have this evolving guide to CSS architecture, so many articles are so specific many people have forgotten the architecture and process behind the css which makes it an easy tool to build and maintain sites. Read up on Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS, great name for SMACSS.

Link: Tiered, Adaptive Front-end Experiences

Posted on by Evan Mullins

Great summery of all the things I’ve thought about regarding cross browser design. I hadn’t thought about the TV example before, but it is true. TV has solved this problem seemingly without a headache. Old tvs show black and white, small screens may crop the image, while widescreen shows full picture and HD shows HD. It’d be crazy to only show black and white picture because you don’t want the content to look different on one tv box vs another. Browsers should be the same story.

Very cool method for creating a triangle in css. I’ve seen it done, but hadn’t looked closely and realized how. Now I’m wondering if it is possible to do it with curves…

Reminds me of a Harold B. Lee quote, “The most important of the Lord’s work that you will ever do will be the work you do within the walls of your own home”
