IE8 initial thoughts
Dabbling in some web development over the years I have absolutely hated IE because of their decision to stray from the standards and do their own thing making it hell as a developer to incorporate all kinds of IE specific hacks just so your pages can remain consistent. So when IE8 was announced and it’s […]
Caught the AJAX bug yet?
Here is a good resource of AJAX books and tutorials online.
Ruby
Any Ruby programmers out there? I am really interested in Ruby right now and also the Rails framework. Ruby itself seems really easy and efficient, while Rails seems to complicate things, IMHO. I may just be too new to see the whole advantage, but right now it’s tough to keep the directories straight, and file […]
Keep that momentum going Firefox…

Supposed new features of IE7 aka Rincon
Although a beta of IE7 is months away information about enhancements and features are starting to spread. My favorite comment in this article is “Microsoft is wavering on the extent to which it plans to support CSS2 with IE 7.0” Get it right Microsoft…do the right thing!
Security and PHP
