Pro JavaScript™ Techniques
Pro JavaScript Techniques is the ultimate JavaScript book for the modern web developer. It provides everything you need to know about modern JavaScript, and shows what JavaScript can do for your web sites. This book doesn't waste any time looking at things you already know, like basic syntax and structures. Expert web developer and author John Resig concentrates on fundamental, vital topics—what modern JavaScripting is (and isnt), the current state of browser support, and pitfalls to be wary of.

Take a practical approach, learning by example from author Quentin Zervaas , and discover how to bring together the many technologies needed to create a successful, modern web application. In Practical Web 2.0 Applications with PHP , PHP, MySQL, CSS, XHTML, and JavaScript/Ajax development techniques are brought together to show you how to create the hottest PHP web applications, from planning and design up to final implementation, without going over unnecessary basics that will hold you back.Ajax and XML: Ajax for lightboxes
It's possibly an urban legend, but I was told many years ago of a user interaction experiment in which USD100 (100 U.S. dollars) was taped beneath someone's seat while that person was using a desktop application on a computer. In the status bar of the application, it said, "There is $100 taped underneath your seat." The money was never found or claimed by any of the participants, which tells you just how poorly the status bar communicates information and how hard it is to get people's attention nowadays. This article shows several techniques that use a combination of PHP, Dynamic HTML (DHTML), and Asynchronous JavaScript™ + XML (Ajax) to throw content right into users' lines of sight so that it really grabs their attention. Tooltips Setting the status bar in the browser is easy, but doing something useful—like popping up a tooltip—is a bit more difficult.
Home > Requirements > MoSCoW Prioritisation To be successful projects need to be properly prioritised for both the requirements and the main project objectives. One mechanism is to use a number system, but this is flawed as it results in all elements being number one. A more useful method is to use a set of words that have meaning such as the MoSCoW method. However to be effective prioritisation requires hard choices to be made. Prioritisation of Requirements

Futurebox, lightbox without the javascript and target pseudo-class | The CSS Ninja - All things CSS, Javascript & xhtml
So I recently released a revised version of Futurebox which added a lot of functionality. But one thing was nagging me, the fact that it utilised the target pseudo-class to hijack in page anchors which has a few side effects that can create some major drawbacks to the technique. One being that if you click multiple futurebox links and then click the browser back button it will go through all the previous overlays that were activated due to the natural behaviour of in page anchors. The other drawback, clicking an in page anchor can cause the page to abruptly jump as it tries to bring the anchor location to the top of the page. But you’re thinking I’m mad, there can’t possibly be any other way to trigger a pure CSS overlay. Radio buttons?!

One of the most common perplexities that I’ve heard saying regarding the typographic style is: yes, it’s fine, cute, creative… but it’s not a style suitable for a company site, corporate, no indeed. It’s certainly a particular style, eclectic if you like, but it can easily be adapted also for a company site, obviously with some small adjustments and without “daring” with fonts too particular and scenic. If we were to create a showcase site reproducing the features of this style, we should play with the typography to attract the attention on certain points in the layout, reduce at minimum- a bit like in the minimal style- the graphic elements and make the effect more appealing with the use of textual elements. Bold titles, provocative colors, daring texts… a game of letters and spaces for a simple, minimal graphic and at the same time of impact.

Creating a FavIcon the Easy Way
I recently decided to update the FavIcon for this site (the little icon in the address bar). The old one was something I’d hacked together myself in visual studio, and just didn’t seem friendly enough for me. There’s a number of online generators that create the icons for you from a picture, and they really seem to do a great job while keeping everything extremely easy.CSS
