My news feeds are getting out of hand. I now have more wonderful stuff to read than I have I have time. So in a effort to follow these things up later, when the Web hits a dry patch, I plan to save the links here with brief descriptions. This is mostly for my benefit as a web technician.
- A2 Hosting, Inc.: Web hosts in the States that support python and ruby! Good to keep in mind.
- Jake talks about advanced hypertext: Ted Nelson has been ranting for years about the shortcomings of the World Wide Web.
- Simple Tricks for More Usable Forms: Seems like something I should read since I make web applications.
- Web Application Form Design: Still more things I should study about forms.
- Web Application Form Layout: More of the same from the same guy.
- Invisible Form Prompts: Still more about designing web forms accessibly.
- Unobtrusive Javascript: How to design Javascript so that it degrades gracefully, is DOM compliant and is mostly accessible.
- Scrollable Table with Fixed Header: How to do this with CSS for compliant browsers and Javascript for IE6.
- ActiveWidgets: Similar to the previous bullet. UI gadgets built out of Javascript and server-side scripts. Should probably compare these to design standards of Unobtrusive Javascript.
