NOT DEAD YET

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

We just finished with Target Multi-Occasion Lists. That was interesting because I got to work with the Yahoo User Interface library (YUI). What fascinated me the most is how many browser bugs haven’t been abstracted away yet. We ran into a lot of issues with the way IE manipulates z-index of elements, especially in quirks mode. But it’s still been interesting.

"Ajax"

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

I put quotes around the term in feeble protest against the buzzword AJAX.[1] (Ajaxian Blog is as good a source as any for reading up on it.) Yes, it’s an important concept. Perhaps it’s the hype that bugs me. If I see one more link to JJG‘s original article, I’m going to barf.

On the other hand, anything that encourages my employer to assign me more JavaScript work is a good thing ;-)

  1. Just as I do with “blog”: inconsistently.
