 man am i happy its the weekend have been working on a project at work that has a real short deadline so ive been busy im looking forward to sunday because im running a 10 mile race and going to the wizards playoff game there were a lot of interesting things that i found this week a list apart issue 257 ive heard a lot about ruby on rails but i never really looked too much into it after reading creating more using less effort with ruby on rails and getting started with ruby on rails it really makes me want to learn more about it obviously i dont think i will become a hardcore programmer but i would like be able to work with it in the future 5 principles and ideas of setting type on the web nice set of guidelines and resources for working with type on the web but who owns javascript this is definitely an issue at my company is it front end developers or back end developers who should be doing the javascript personally i think that front end developers should handle all presentational javascript and back end developers should handle any javascript that is interacting with any data although that line i think is somewhat flexible as i have shown how simple it is to create an ajax form criticism myths and childishness i love how andy doesnt hold back he just says it how it is this is definitely something im starting to understand more and more as i get more experience five more principles of effective web design some nice tips and resources here these articles are really interesting to me right now as i am working on the next design for my site css gradients transforms animations and masks the latest version of webkit has added some pretty cool css properties if only all browser makers would continue to advance their browser as fast as webkit does it would be a much better world on the web working within limitations to achieve great designs some nice minimalist strategies for achieving great designs
