Aza’s Thoughts » A New Way of Writing Ubiquity Commands: Feedback Needed
"Here’s the code the defines the command “new-map”. It looks remarkably like the old way of defining a command, but now it’s done inside a something that looks like a webpage. This lets you include complex HTML without the gross anti-pattern of building HTML with Javascript string concatenation."
Play! Java Web Framework
"Discover a clean alternative to bloated enterprise Java stacks. Play! focuses on developers productivity and targets RESTfull Architectures."
Moving past last call for HTML5 from Ian Hickson on 2009-02-19 (www-archive@w3.org from February 2009)
"I am confident that with the exception of things that need changing and will be changed in time for the next milestone, we have a majority agreement on everything in HTML5. Majority agreement in a self-selected community like an open working group is worth less than it would appear, though, because there is a selection bias: only people who are interested in both the technology and in standards development are going to take part. In the W3C working group, there is a further bar: we only allow people who are willing to put up with an inordinate amount of bureacuracy (to join) and noise to be part of the group whose opinion is measured. Statistically, therefore, the opinions of the working group almost certainly don't match the opinions of the whole Web community."
Video, Canvas, Worker thread - A movement tracker
"I've created a little demo using the video element, canvas, DOM Workers (threads in JS) and a few Javascript 1.7/1.8 tips. It's a movement tracker. It's not perfect, but it's fun :)
Movement tracker: http://www.mozbox.org/pub/tracker/, click on the Go button (Firefox3.1 needed)."
The Browser Operating System
"A very interesting paper was just published by Microsoft Research that details a browser construction that acts more like an operating system, partitioning off resources only to those who need it."
PackR 3.1: improved compression and private variable support
"Dean Edwards recently released version 3.1 of Packer, his JavaScript compression tool. You’ll be pleased to know I’ve been keeping up with development, and I’ve just released PackR 3.1. PackR is a Ruby version of Packer that can be used from the command line or within Ruby apps."
