What Every Developer Should Know About URLs

I have recently written about the value of fundamentals in software development. I am still firmly of the opinion that you need to have your fundamentals down solid, if you want to be a decent developer. However, several people made a valid point in response to that post, in that it is often difficult to know what the fundamentals actually are (be they macro or micro level). So, I thought it would be a good idea to do an ongoing series of posts on some of the things that I consider to be fundamental – this post is the first instalment...

Pure CSS3 Spiderman Cartoon w/ jQuery and HTML5

Searching YouTube for inspiration I stumbled on to the intro of the classic 1967 spider-man cartoon series. While watching I realized that the animation was very basic. It was the paper doll sort of animation that lends itself perfectly to css3. Hmmm… "I could something like that with a little css3″, I thought...

Top 10 Things that JavaScript Got Wrong (http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/top-10-things-that-javascript-got-wrong/)
JavaScript, if only by default, is one of the most popular programming languages available. Over the years, it's been labeled as a nightmare to work with, and, to some extent, this is true! However, more often than not, what people mean to say is that the DOM API is a nightmare. Nevertheless, there are a handful of flat-out errors in the language...

Event compatibility tables (http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/events/index.html)
On this page I give a quick overview of events browser compatibility. I assume that you know the three event registration models (traditional, W3C and Microsoft) as well as event bubbling and capturing. I spent most of my time on the cross-browser events; the links in the first compatibility table lead to even more compatibility tables with detailed information about these events. I merely tested basic browser support for the Microsoft and W3C events without delving too deeply into the details...
