- Adactio: Journal—Going Postel adactio.com
The most brittle part of the [front-end] stack is JavaScript [...]<br /> That’s why I’m so surprised that any front-end engineer would knowingly choose to swap out a solid declarative foundation like HTML for a more brittle scripting language.
- isolani - Javascript: Breaking the Web with hash-bangs isolani.co.uk
Head -> desk. "Gawker/Lifehacker have violated the principle of progressive enhancement, and they paid for it immediately with an extended outage on day one of their new site launch. Every JavaScript hiccup will cause an outage, and directly affect Gawker’s revenue stream and the trust of their audience."

- Adactio: Journal—Three questions adactio.com
The WHATWG spec is the place to look for what’s new and evolving. The W3C spec, once it goes into Last Call, is the place to look for the official milestone that is HTML5. In practice, the two specs will be pretty much identical for quite a while yet. But the truth is that authors shouldn’t be looking at specs to decide what to use—look at what browsers support in order to decide if you should use a particular feature—look at the spec to understand how to use features of HTML5.

"An initiative for knowing the people behind a website." Cute.
Ultralight wireframe tool.
I personally feel that until a developer is interested enough in learning about patterns to make the leap to invest in these, the majority of material they have accessible online doesn’t focus enough on how to apply design patterns to JavaScript or jQuery. That’s where having a free book of this nature comes in useful.
