Made of Bugs » Why node.js is cool (it’s not about performance)

Made of Bugs » Why node.js is cool (it’s not about performance): "Enter node.js
node.js solves this problem, somewhat paradoxically by reducing the number of options available to developers. By having a built-in event loop, and by making that event loop the default way to accomplish virtually anything at all (e.g. all of the builtin IO functions work asynchronously on the same event loop), node.js provides a very strong pressure to write networked code in a certain way. The upshot of this pressure is that, since essentially every node.js library works this way, you can pick and choose arbitrary node.js libraries and combine them in the same program, without even having to think about the fact that you’re doing so."

jQuery Mobile Docs - Button icons

jQuery Mobile Docs - Button icons: "Adding Icons to Buttons
The jQuery Mobile framework includes a selected set of icons most often needed for mobile apps. To minimize download size, jQuery Mobile includes a single white icon sprite, and automatically adds a semi-transparent black circle behind the icon to ensure that it has good contrast on any background color.

An icon can be added to a button by adding a data-icon attribute on the anchor specifying the icon to display. For example, the following markup:"

CSS-Guidelines/CSS Guidelines.md at master · csswizardry/CSS-Guidelines: "Syntax and formatting

We use multi-line CSS to help with version control (diffing single line CSS is a nightmare) and we order CSS declarations by relevance, not alphabetically.

We use hyphen delimited, lowercase selectors: .thisIsBad{}, .this_is_also_bad{} but .this-is-correct{}.

Always use a trailing semi-colon on the last declaration in a ruleset to avoid any potential confusion and syntax errors over the life of the document."

HTML5 localStorage – Part One « PaperKilledRock.com

HTML5 localStorage – Part One « PaperKilledRock.com: "Can’t get much easier then that. Line 1 saves a new entry in the local database with the key of ‘name’ and the value of ‘Hello World!’. That pair is now stored in your browsers database. Line 2 gets the item from the database with the key of ‘name’. In this case would then return ‘Hello World!’. In line 3 we remove the item from the database. Due to browser specific quotas you would want to check for exceptions so you would change line 1 above to the following."

Local Storage - Dive Into HTML5: "A BRIEF HISTORY OF LOCAL STORAGE HACKS BEFORE HTML5

In the beginning, there was only Internet Explorer. Or at least, that’s what Microsoft wanted the world to think. To that end, as part of the First Great Browser Wars, Microsoft invented a great many things and included them in their browser-to-end-all-browser-wars, Internet Explorer. One of these things was called DHTML Behaviors, and one of these behaviors was called userData.

jQuery Mobile Docs - Events

jQuery Mobile Docs - Events: "Important: Use pageInit(), not $(document).ready()

The first thing you learn in jQuery is to call code inside the $(document).ready() function so everything will execute as soon as the DOM is loaded. However, in jQuery Mobile, Ajax is used to load the contents of each page into the DOM as you navigate, and the DOM ready handler only executes for the first page. To execute code whenever a new page is loaded and created, you can bind to the pageinit event. This event is explained in detail at the bottom of this page."

Events

Events: "jQuery Mobile offers several custom events that build upon native events to create useful hooks for development. Note that these events employ various touch, mouse, and window events, depending on event existence, so you can bind to them for use in both handheld and desktop environments. You can bind to these events like you would with other jQuery events, using live() or bind().
