http://css-tricks.com/custom-events-are-pretty-cool/ Published by Chris Coyier Let's say you are working on a web application in jQuery and you are tasked with writing an accordion suited to the needs of your web app. You decide to make it into a plugin. That way anywhere in this app that needs an accordion, they can load this plugin and call it upon semantic markup that is ready to become an accordion. Then ta-da, they have a lovely working accordion.

Custom Events are Pretty Cool

Meteor

Meteor is designed to support multiple methods of pushing (or appearing to push) data over HTTP. Since HTTP is a protocol that is designed to 'pull', streaming doesn't come naturally and some 'creative' use of the protocol is required. Some of these methods work in some circumstances, and not in others, while each has its own pros and cons. Streaming To stream data, a client initiates a request, the server's response begins immediately, and continues indefinitely until the client closes the connection.

BrowserLab

Dear BrowserLab customers, When we originally launched BrowserLab as a free service back in 2009, our customers were struggling with testing their web content across desktop browsers and platforms. Since then with the growth of the importance of mobile devices and tablets, the landscape has changed dramatically. Because of this shift, we have seen the usage of BrowserLab drop over the past year while at the same time our engineering team has been focusing on solving this new challenge with new solutions. Due to this, we will be shutting down the Adobe BrowserLab Service effective immediately. If you need to test across multiple desktop browsers, we recommend that you check out BrowserStack and Sauce Labs as two viable alternatives to BrowserLab. http://blogs.adobe.com/browserlab/2013/03/13/browserlab-is-shutting-down-on-march-13-2013/

The Pure CSS3 Content Slider

Marking up data using microformats Microformats are simple conventions (known as entities ) used on web pages to describe a specific type of information —for example, a review, an event, a product, a business, or a person. Each entity has its own properties . For example, a Person has the properties name, address, job title, company, and email address. In general, microformats use the class attribute in HTML tags (often <span> or <div> ) to assign brief and descriptive names to entities and their properties. Here's an example of a short HTML block showing basic contact information for Bob Smith.

Percentage dimensions of the double page layout All the dimensions are in percentage widths so the layout adjusts to any screen resolution. Vertical dimensions are not set so they stretch to the height of the content. Maximum column content widths To prevent wide content (like long URLs) from destroying the layout (long content can make the page scroll horizontally) the column content divs are set to overflow:hidden.
