Improving Application Usability with Ext JS Keyboard Handling
Ext - A foundation you can build on (Sep 23 2008) Explore Article
As Enterprise applications begin moving to the web instead of the desktop many developers may forget about providing key bindings for their applications.

Cappucino’s FlickrDemo in 45 lines of jQuery
broken digits (Sep 5 2008) Explore Article
Cappuccino’s FlickrDemo in 45 lines of jQuery When I first saw 280 North’s “280 Slides” application, I have to admit I was very impressed. They built a truly native-feeling (well, if you’re on a Mac) tool on the standard web platform. Not an easy feat, and clearly some big brains operating on the problem. But the more I read about their toolkit (Objective-J), the more unsettled I felt. It’s the ... (Read Full Article)

QuirksMode (Sep 2 2008) Explore Article
Just downloaded Google Chrome and did some very brief tests. Rendering engine seems equal to Safari 3.1, as expected. There will be a few minor differences somewhere; I’ll let you know when I find them. Feels light, quick. It features a quite slick-looking Firebug clone that includes a YSlow clone. Right-click and select "Inspect element" to access it. Haven’t tried to actually debug with it yet, but it looks promising. ... (Read Full Article)

Beautiful JavaScript
Codemate (Jul 1 2008) Explore Article
What always disappointed me in books on JavaScript is the fact that authors seldom separate JavaScript from Web programming. Thus, most books on JavaScript provide the description of features (syntax, built-in objects) and then jump to DHTML, DOM, AJAX and JavaScript libraries, producing a thousand-page tome.
