nerdiness devours me

wow, could this list get any more comprehensive?

Are you looking for a basic understanding of how UIs are created on the web or who wants to brush up outdated UI development knowledge? Or maybe you’d like to learn more about the medium you’re designing for and gain basic tools for prototyping designs? Do you want a better understanding of the web and how Google makes the pages that are its face to the world? If so, “HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from the Ground Up” is for you.

Zen HTML and Zen CSS are the separate plugins for TextMate and NetBeans. They are using template logic, provided by applications and based on Zen HTML Elements and Zen CSS properties documentation.

I know this line sounds like nothing, but watch the features video on the site and for a short overview about what these plugins are capable of, check this article.

Great compilation of tools every web dev should know about, from HTML to CSS to JS and more. Links, demos, books, everything. Awesome.

Thanks for the list, will need that sort of tools soon.

This jQuery plugin generates sparklines (small inline charts) directly in the browser using data supplied either inline in the HTML, or via javascript.

So a Saturday night, I turned off the light, locked the door and sealed the windows. It was time to check out this Japanese creation. […]

A few hours later, I had forgotten everything about Python. Stupid language. Ruby was where it was at, and I instantly started recommending it to all my code-buddies. It’s such an awesome language, why not spread the joy? They said I was a fanboy, and told me to gtfo. And I quickly realized what had happened.

Ruby is evil


Reading this article really makes me want to get back to my basics which are like the authors basics, HTML & CSS. Ruby and Rails can’t hurt either, along with a little linux, opensource and the lot. I hate myself being so Microsoft desktop development contaminated due to my dayjob…

IE7.js is a JavaScript library to make Microsoft Internet Explorer behave like a standards-compliant browser. It fixes many HTML and CSS issues and makes transparent PNG work correctly under IE5 and IE6.

Great little test dev tool. Works pretty well, from what I can tell. Auto-indention, color-coding, ability to choose frameworks, separation of code. Awesome.

Neat-o! Will definitely be useful…
