As my close friends know I love Sitepoint’s books. I love them because they teach to everyone all the web trends and programming languages, with very well structured books and easy to read language for everyone from the very amateur to the most intermediate guy. The last very good example is the latest book that they released HTML5 & CSS3 for the Real World (that I suggest you to buy).
jQuery tipTip is a Drew Wilson’s plugin that I love and I use it in 90% of my projects. But because I use firefox, I found a small design problem in Tooltip. The background color is not the same, look at the differences:
You can see that the -webkit- browsers render the tooltip with a light gradient in contrast with firefox that hasn’t got gradient background.
How to solve this problem?
I’ve just come back home from easter holidays and i found in my mailbox a book that i had purchased 2 weeks ago from amazon. Which Book?
HTML5 & CSS3 : Develop with Tomorrow’s Standards Today
With a first look the book is totally designer non-friendly!
It’s a classic Pragmatic Programmers book, with black & white content and full of text pages. The content is a lot and i think that nobody read it all, but it’s a great book for reference as I mentioned in my Amazon review!
When you have stuck, you can navigate fast and easy through the chapters and find the solution to your problem. I especially like the fact that the book’s title is totally TRUE, in every single example they give you a fallback code how to implement the example now days with current standards and technology.
I bought this book with an amazon gift card and i don’t know if i want to pay to buy it, but it’s a good choice if you have $20 in your piggy money box.
Easter is 2 days away, so in my free time after a lot of Angry Birds Seasons (Easter) gaming, I made the following poster!
You can download it free, the bird is full vector so use it wherever you want!
Happy Easter & Holidays to everyone! Have Fun and play Angry Birds…
In this article, I will not taught you how to use image Sprites but how to use them correct!
As you already know the right way to create a lightweight and fast sprite image is to put all small images and graphic parts in one image. A lot of designers (including me) stuff the sprite image a lot and they didn’t leave whitespace between images, this is good if you see your website from a pc.
But have you ever see your (extra stuffed sprite image) website from a mobile device like iPad or iPhone? If you don’t, then in the following images you will realize that the method mentioned above is completely wrong!
