Protovis
Protovis composes custom views of data with simple marks such as bars and dots. Unlike low-level graphics libraries that quickly become tedious for visualization, Protovis defines marks through dynamic properties that encode data, allowing inheritance, scales and layouts to simplify construction. Protovis is free and open-source, provided under the BSD License. It uses JavaScript and SVG for web-native visualizations; no plugin required (though you will need a modern web browser)! Although programming experience is helpful, Protovis is mostly declarative and designed to be learned by example. Protovis is no longer under active development.The final release of Protovis was v3.3.1 (4.7 MB). This project was led by Mike Bostock and Jeff Heer of the Stanford Visualization Group, with significant help from Vadim Ogievetsky. Updates June 28, 2011 - Protovis is no longer under active development. September 17, 2010 - Release 3.3 is available on GitHub. May 28, 2010 - ZOMG! Getting Started

The New Boston » Java
A true story about survival in the Adirondack Mountains. The park covers 6.1 million acres, a land area greater than Vermont, or than Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Glacier, and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks combined. The Adirondacks are also home to thousands of black bears, deadly snakes, and countless other dangers. Abandoned in the middle of the park with no survival experience and very few supplies, the entire journey was documented and filmed. Click here to watch the whole series!

The Ultimate Guide to WordPress Multisite
We’ve been developing plugins for it since the old days when it was WordPress MU, and we use it to power Edublogs, a huge network of blogs for educators and students. Personally I also use Multisite a lot. I use it to host client websites, to create sites demonstrating techniques I outline in my books and tutorials, and to keep everything in one place. In this guide to Multisite I’m going to show you everything you need to know to get started with Multisite and create your own network of blogs or sites. I’ll cover: What is Multisite and how is it different from regular WordPress? But first, let’s get some terminology straight. Network refers to the entire Multisite network, i.e. your WordPress installationSite refers to one of the blogs or sites created as part of the network. So when I refer to your site, I don’t mean your whole network of sites, but just one of the sites on it. So now we’ve got that sorted, let’s take a look at Multisite! What is Multisite? Uses for Multisite Creating a Site

3 ways to define a JavaScript class
Introduction JavaScript is a very flexible object-oriented language when it comes to syntax. In this article you can find three ways of defining and instantiating an object. Even if you have already picked your favorite way of doing it, it helps to know some alternatives in order to read other people's code. It's important to note that there are no classes in JavaScript. 1. This is probably one of the most common ways. function Apple (type) { this.type = type; this.color = "red"; this.getInfo = getAppleInfo; } function getAppleInfo() { return this.color + ' ' + this.type + ' apple'; } To instantiate an object using the Apple constructor function, set some properties and call methods you can do the following: var apple = new Apple('macintosh'); apple.color = "reddish"; alert(apple.getInfo()); 1.1. In the example above you see that the method getInfo() of the Apple "class" was defined in a separate function getAppleInfo(). 1.2. 2. apple.color = "reddish"; alert(apple.getInfo()); 3. Summary
