jQuery source viewer Useful little utility by James Padolsey. (Side note: this is one thing about the jQuery API docs that bugs the shit out of me: that you can't jump to the source code. This appears to solve that problem.) (tagged: jQuery JavaScript ) Towards A Retina Web Reda Lemeden, writing at Smashing Coding […]
Yeoman Addy Osmani et al.: "Modern workflows for modern webapps." (tagged: JavaScript Yeoman ) OOCSS + Sass = The best way to CSS By Ian Storm Taylor. The whole "I work at a start-up and things change all the time so OOCSS doesn't work for me" makes me a bit skeptical, but his example patterns […]
Testing for the Web, Part I: Javascript Unit Testing with Jenkins, JSTD, Phantom.js and Sauce At the NetWallet Eng Blog. They describe how they're doing their automated front-end unit testing using… well, it's all spelled out in the blog post's title.

Introduction to RequireJS Jack Franklin, writing at The JavaScript Playground, gives us this decent introduction to RequireJS. It doesn't go into too much depth, and I wish he'd spent a little more time to discuss using it in a larger project–but it's enough to get you off the ground if you're new to RequireJS. (tagged: […]

DARPA Wants to Create Space Scavengers to Leech on Dead Satellites At Gizmodo. (tagged: research space robot ) Share Cropping By Kathryn Flagg, writing for Seven Days. Speaking for myself, I have kind of a love/hate relationship with the CSA model. On the one hand, it's incredibly convenient to get a weekly stash of straight-from-the-farm […]
My Perception of CoffeeScript Leon Gersing: CoffeeScript sees the world through OO’s eyes. When I see JavaScript, I find beauty in it’s ability to be a dynamically typed Functional programming language. (that’s your TL;DR;, friends.) The post is a few months old now, but I feel like it's still relevant and captures a lot of […]
Getting Started with Sublime Text 2 By Brandon Keepers. Sounds similar to my own experience getting settled into it. I think I've mentioned it before; it's a solid text editor, and with enough fiddling around, you can almost get it up to "IDE" status. (Almost.)

Good APIs Are Transparent In Their Expectations And Dependencies Ben Nadel with an insightful observation following his read of Nicholas Zakas' new Maintainable JavaScript. This make sense to me. (Also makes me want to read the book even more than I did before.) (tagged: API JavaScript Ben Nadel ) Terrible Yellow Eyes. A Maurice Sendak […]
something something something Russell Davies: Anyway. It's not just sci-fi. I'm also depressed about the lack of future in fashion. Every hep shop seems to be full of tweeds and leather and carefully authentic bits of restrained artisinal fashion.
