The changes made to the web pages are executed every time the page is viewed, making them effectively permanent for the user running the script. Greasemonkey can be used for customizing page appearance, adding new functions to web pages (for example, embedding price comparisons within shopping sites), fixing rendering bugs, combining data from multiple web pages, and numerous other purposes.

CoffeeScript support is included in Ruby on Rails version 3.1.[8] In 2011, Brendan Eich referenced CoffeeScript as an influence on his thoughts about the future of JavaScript.[9][10] History[edit] On December 24, 2010, Ashkenas announced the release of stable 1.0.0 to Hacker News, the site where the project was announced for the first time.[12][13] Syntax[edit] Almost everything is an expression in CoffeeScript, for example if, switch and for expressions (which have no return value in JavaScript) return a value. Many unnecessary parentheses and braces can be omitted; for example, blocks of code can be denoted by indentation instead of braces, function calls are implicit, and object literals are often detected automatically.

The HTML5-specific requirements for the web site is offline support. Other than that, there’s not a lot of HTML5-specific requirements for the site. It’s very common that the buzzword HTML5 is being used a bit too much at the moment – representing responsive design and Ajax which really has very little do with HTML5 per se. The way ”people” talk about HTML5 right now feels similar to how people talked about Web 2.0 – or even how people talked about ”Apps”. They know they want it, they in fact need it and are willing to spend lots of money on it.
If I sell a HTML5 Web site – what is that? Ok, nuff’ said about that. The project I’m working on will actually make use of the HTML5 offline features. SMC: The State Machine Compiler.
