New Homepage Easily the most contentious part of the redesign - but absolutely the most eye-catching. jQuery has long been driven by rock, even looking back to its original release which was heavily inspired by the always-excellent Devo.

I've been waiting to blog about this for a long time now. A fantastic new improvement to Mozilla's JavaScript engine (SpiderMonkey) has landed. Code-named TraceMonkey this engine utilizes a techniques, called trace trees (PDF), which adds just-in-time native code compilation to SpiderMonkey. A major goal of the project has been to set JavaScript up to compete with natively-compiled code, rather than simply against other interpreters.

Optimization isn’t just minimizing file size — it’s also about being organized, clutter-free, and efficient. You’ll find that the more knowledge you have about optimal CSS practices, smaller file size will inevitably come as an direct result of their implementation.Contribute comment -

Lucky to be a Programmer (44)

For the past few weeks I’ve been working with a fellow developer on a project that required an all-out programming effort. It’s done now, so we’re back to a regular schedule, but when people hear about the crazy hours they often say they’re sorry. They really shouldn’t be. I would never do this often, or for long periods, or without proper compensation if done for an employer, but the truth is that these programming blitzkriegs ...Shared by Andrew Ruess (121) ani625 (85) Avi Flax (4) Björn Ros (0) Bose (8) brad (10) Brian.LeRoux (4) C.M (2) Casey (0) Eli (0) GarthDB (18) Geoffrey Wiseman (17) grant (19) GregEh (7) henrym (1) Hiten Shah (5) Iulian (9) John Mettraux (19) Jon (22) Justin Yost (81) Kartik Agaram (3) kebernet (94) Keith B (3) Keith Bradbury (3) Khürt Williams (1) Libin Pan (3) Lili (0) Marcos Toledo (0) Mark Ng (1) Michael (2) Mitchell Laurren-Ring (4) Nick Campbell (5) Nirav (28) pablo (12) phegaro (11) Randy (13) Rk (13) Shannon (15) stantont (26) tig (33) Todd (15) voidfiles (28) Yaroslav (8) Zeca (13)Explore read five notes- Zeca said: If you find yourself stuck in a place that’s killing your innate passion for technology, by all means, move the hell on! Don’t stay put while your enthusiasm is slowly drained. It’s hard to find motivated people to hire so you’ve got a major asset already; there are plenty of employers - and companies to be started - that will better suit you. For people who think they might like programming, your mileage may vary, but I highly recommend it as a career. Not only is the outlook bullish on the job front, but as the role of software grows in society we’ll see more exciting and beneficial changes delivered by technology. I’m delighted to be along for the ride as constantly my art and craft I try to master.
