standard feed icons

I ran across this site:

I think everything wanna be in a standardized trend. In this case, I think it’s good move for feed icon.

80+ Ajax solution

80+ Ajax Solution

Full of resource on Ajax.
JS Widgets, libraries, etc are becoming so popular these days, so frontend developers should be able to pull one or two ajax web applications so easily. I feel like I’m back to when all flash developers released full sources of their movies to flashkit!

I’m at LAX sitting on chair waiting for a flight to get in. Tomorrow I’ll be attending WDDC through Friday so I’m very excited. However, American Airline isn’t helping me at all. Already 1 hour’s been wasted. Oh well. It’s good that I have had tmobile WiFi account so that at least I can use internet.

Another 30 mins and I’ll be off to SF hopefully.

A pile of good reads

These days I’ve been so busy with doing lots of backend development. I’m a frontend engineer, but it doesn’t matter.
Anyways, I couldn’t get to my company’s one particular intranet application although I was VPN’ing to internal network… sigh…
So while I am relaxing, I compiled a link of good reads that I found very good.

here they are:

  1. JSON and Browser security
  2. Security for GWT Applications
  3. Performance Research, Part I
  4. Performance Research, Part II
  5. Performance Research, Part III
  6. Performance Research, Part IV

I’m pretty sure that many people read at least few articles already, but reading twice won’t hurt. ;)

WWDC 2007

In about a week, I’ll be off to San Francisco to attend WWDC 2007. Although the conference is about a week away from today, I’m so excited about it.

wwdc

As a mac user and frontend engineer, I’m interested in content and media portion of the conference. Basically it covers web technologies around WebKit, which is HTML rendering engine used in Safari. Also there are many other presentations that cover media including video and audio. There are so many choices to choose from. I’m having a hard time to pick which one to go. :P

Just one more week and I’m off!

JS debugging tools

There are very well known Javascript debugging tools for firefox. Those are fiebug and webdev. In fact, without those tools, javascript development would be *alert()* debugging after all.

I used MS visual studio for past 5 years and it had a great Javascript debugging tool for IE. (Last I remember, MS visual studio 2005 had a Javascript debugging tool, which can be used for IE as well as firefox.) Somehow I happened to go to this page today. This page shows three ways to debug Javascript on IE.
