It’s practically essential after all: one design for the BlackBerry, another for the iPhone, the iPad, netbook, Kindle — and all screen resolutions must be compatible, too. In the next five years, we’ll likely need to design for a number of additional inventions. When will the madness stop? In the field of Web design and development, we’re quickly getting to the point of being unable to keep up with the endless new resolutions and devices. Responsive Web design is the approach that suggests that design and development should respond to the user’s behavior and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation.

Building a shared calendar with Backbone.js and FullCalendar: A step-by-step tutorial In a prior post, I explained how Backbone.js can be used to implement cascading select boxes. However, this was pretty much just a read-only affair, and these were relatively simple HTML elements. How does Backbone fare creating, updating and deleting data via a much more complex UI component? I recently had the chance to build a shared calendar tool with Backbone and FullCalendar, a jQuery plugin for a full-sized calendar with drag-and-drop capabilities. I was quickly able to get them playing nicely with each other, and in this entry I’ll cover step-by-step what it took to get there. Introducing FullCalendar FullCalendar is a great plugin. So how do we get a screen like this up and running? A unique idA string titleA start date, encoded in ISO8601 format (for example, ’2011-08-12T09:55:03Z’)An end date, encoded in ISO8601 formatA color, encoded in any of the CSS color formats (for example ‘Red’, or ‘#ff0000′) We’ll assume that our server has been configured with some test data. Awesome!

10 Things You Must Do When Changing WordPress Themes : Instigator Blog WordPress makes it very easy to change themes and completely change the design of your blog. That’s a great feature, and it allows non-designers and people with limited CSS/HTML/etc. experience to do some amazing stuff. But, there’s a number of critical steps you need to go through after changing your blog’s design, in order to make sure it’s going to work perfectly. The Sidebar Will Be Overwritten. Learn Web Development with the Ruby on Rails Tutorial My former company (CD Baby) was one of the first to loudly switch to Ruby on Rails, and then even more loudly switch back to PHP (Google me to read about the drama). This book by Michael Hartl came so highly recommended that I had to try it, and the Ruby on Rails Tutorial is what I used to switch back to Rails again. Though I’ve worked my way through many Rails books, this is the one that finally made me “get” it. Everything is done very much “the Rails way”—a way that felt very unnatural to me before, but now after doing this book finally feels natural. This is also the only Rails book that does test-driven development the entire time, an approach highly recommended by the experts but which has never been so clearly demonstrated before. The linear narrative is such a great format. Enjoy! Derek Sivers (sivers.org) Founder, CD Baby The Ruby on Rails Tutorial owes a lot to my previous Rails book, RailsSpace, and hence to my coauthor Aurelius Prochazka.

For Theme Authors My primary responsibility out here at Weblog Tools Collection is to keep a close eye on WordPress plugin and theme releases. One of the places I check regularly for theme releases is the WordPress Theme Viewer. I also keep track of updates via Google Alerts and more importantly our News section. I’ve lost track of the number of themes that I have downloaded, read about and previewed. While doing this, I have observed several different methods of promotion and distribution of themes by their authors; some highly effective and some so bad that I have had no option but to ignore the release. This WordPress Codex page has an indepth explanation on starting off with themes for public release to promoting them and is a recommended read. In this post I hope to address a few points that every theme author should consider when releasing a public theme. The Theme Page What use is a theme if nobody knows where to get it from?
