Quick Tip: You Need to Check out LESS.js You might be familiar with such services as LESS and Sass. They allow for far more flexibility when creating your stylesheets, including the use of variables, operators, mix-ins, even nested selectors. However, because LESS was originally built with Ruby, a lot of PHP developers, despite the fact that there are PHP versions available, never used it. Full Screencast Step 1. Step 2. Note that we've set the rel attribute to "stylesheet/less" and that our actual stylesheets has an extension of .less, not .css. Step 3. With this minimal amount of work, you now have access to everything from variables to mix-ins. It's important to remember that LESS.js isn't finished; hopefully, it will be soon.

The Benjamin Franklin Effect and why you need to quit your job before it’s too late The Benjamin Franklin Effect and why you need to quit your job before it’s too late There’s something you should know. Your brain is reactive, and your moral values are pliable. Your actions influence your beliefs. If you’re sticking it out in a job where you’re not happy, you had better hightail it out of there before your brain has time to rewire the way you think about it. What Benjamin Franklin taught us Benjamin Franklin was a smart guy. In 1737, Benjamin was about to be voted in as clerk of the General Assembly for the second time, when a curious thing happened. He saw that this man was “a gentleman of fortune and education, with talents that were likely to give him, in time, great influence in the House.” But this is where the story gets interesting. “He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.” And lo and behold, what happened next? No kidding. The Benjamin Franklin Effect Why? It works for other actions, too.

It was too soon after being back from San Francisco. I wasn’t in the Christmas spirit, nor in an holidays-and-end-of-the-year mood. And well I also happened to be sick between the 23rd and the 25th of December. But 2012 has come, and with it a lot more hopes and expectations. So for now, all I want is to learn, improve, and prepare the future as much as I can. Setting up realistic goals that I WILL be able to fulfill. The second part of this is to be able to program/code/develop, either websites or apps (if possible) so that I an as autonomous and independent as possible when I decide to launch my projects. So here’s how I will plan to do this: First of all, I’ll try to read and consume more information regarding design, either design of objects and homes, or visual arts and websites. The second is called TreeHouse and seems to have much more to learn than Code Academy. What do you think?
Postcron - Easy Facebook publishing scheduler Feed Informer: Mix, convert, and republish feeds Ruby Programming Language CSS variables Weeee, CSS variables just landed in WebKit, this is pretty exciting! Unfortunately I couldn't see them in action in WebKit nightly (must be something I'm missing), but they're here and here to stay. I know there are "purists" that say that stuff like variables has no place in the language and we don't really understand CSS, it's different, etc, etc. Syntax So the basic idea, according to W3C is this. This is a declaration of the variable my-color. Then you use it like: And the .thing gets the color #fad. In WebKit Webkit currently uses a -webkit vendor prefix which makes the whole thing more verbose: There are many examples for your browsing pleasure in the form of test files in WebKit's repo Future It's here. Exciting times!
Home Page Goals When I set out to design a website, I do it backwards. I start with the design of the smallest, deepest element: the story page or search results. Then I work backwards to design their containers: section pages, indexes. Then, lastly, I work on the home page. Issue № 211 I do this because each container needs to adequately set expectations for what it contains. This also means that, by the time work begins on the home page, there’s a lot of momentum going already. Home pages are anxiety-inducing for companies. Before I get into those goals, here’s a grain of salt. This is not to say that the home page is unimportant—it’s hugely important as a first impression. That said, let’s look at the unique challenges that home pages present. Any home page has four main goals, in this order: Goal 1: Answer the question, “What is this place?” This is, and always will be, the number-one job of any home page. The first thing a new visitor does when they get to an unfamiliar site is ask that question.
