#8: I sometimes think that we’re wasting our time when we code javascript. Javascript can be turned off by the client in 10 seconds and all of our javascript work becomes useless.

Building a complete and effective website truly is a process. In this post we’ll take a brief look at the various steps that lead to a successful project. Of course, this will vary from case-to-case, but this is a pretty standard order of events.
After reading A List Apart's article about if zebra striping (Link) makes any significant impact on speed/accessibility, I thought I would knock a quick demo up of taking zebra striping a step further using the mouseover event of jQuery, to me this appears to speed up scanning of the data.
The Semantic Web is a web of data. There is lots of data we all use every day, and it’s not part of the web. I can see my bank statements on the web, and my photographs, and I can see my appointments in a calendar. But can I see my photos in a calendar to see what I was doing when I took them? Can I see bank statement lines in a calendar? Why not? Because we don't have a web of data. Because data is controlled by applications, and each application keeps it to itself.
Many believe that zebra stripes aid the reader by guiding the eye along the row. However, despite being in use in both paper and electronic mediums for almost half a century, there is practically no evidence that it actually assists users in this way. In June and July 2007, I conducted an extensive review of sources such as the International Association of Paper Historians, the Business and Forms Management Association, and the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, but found absolutely no information on the origins of or rationale behind zebra striping.

I recently switched to using OS X full-time for all my client-side computing. Still using Linux on the backends, of course, at home and at work, but I now use Macs for my client machines.
We at GridGain recently were faced with the following problem. It turns out (may be old news to some), that java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService in JDK 1.6 is not backward compatible with JDK 1.5. Although backward compatibility is preserved at binary level, the backward *compilability* is broken. This means that if you implement your own ExecutorService in 1.6, the source code won't compile in 1.5 and vice versa.
A while back I got into a forum discussion over the accessibility of CAPTCHA systems. That isn't what this article is about (in fact it wasn't what the thread was about either, but I soon changed that!). I only mention it because one comment in particular stood out as symptomatic of an attitude I come across time and time again:
Gmail–many of us web workers could hardly get by without it. I happen to use both Outlook and Gmail, but Gmail is increasingly the e-mail engine I spend most of my time in. If you do too, a few tips on customizing your setup, optimizing searches, and more can save you lots of time. In this post, I’ll round up 10 examples.
Regardless of the degree of responsibility a developer assumes or how well legal teams can cover every base, open source licenses and the usage patterns of open source code are issues that must be addressed very carefully to avoid any possible ramifications. So how can we be sure that the software we are using is compliant with all licensing and distribution models? And how can we obtain it in a legal, managed way that alleviates these issues? This is where Pulse 2.1 comes in.
Firefox 3 introduces a few new features to bookmarks that I think makes them much, much easier to use, more useful in general, and much more useful in particular for catastrophically disorganized folk like me. The three main features being introduced are: Bookmark Stars, Bookmark Tags, and Smart Bookmark Folders.
I found this old post on my old blog and still think it may have some good book tips which I will share with you on my new blog, where I also have new visitors. In this post I will give my suggestions of books that in my opinion could make you become a great developer. Remember that books will only give you theoretical knowledge and not the practical knowledge, so you also need to use your knowledge and do some practical programming to success. You will also learn from your mistakes and the best way to succeed is to follow those who have succeeded.
