HTML5 Boilerplate – A rock-solid default for HTML5 awesome.

A little bloated compared to other HTML5 templates I've seen, but there are some great techniques in here.

HTML5 Reset templates

"The HTML file contains a rudimentary HTML5 document structure, with all the every day stuff like title, header, footer, etc. It also uses conditional comments to call about half a dozen IE-specific CSS files, as well as a couple popular IE-correcting javascript files.

In the CSS folders are baseline styles designed to reduce the visual design in any browser to its most basic state. This frees you from the annoyance of overcoming the native styling that each browser wants to apply to HTML elements such as h1, p, and ul. From this starting point it's very easy to establish your own standards for type size, margins, and other measurements."

Less.js Will Obsolete CSS

Quite the hyperbolic claim…

The next evolution of LESS. LESS has now been re-implemented in JavaScript. This means is you no longer need Ruby, ASP or PHP to use LESS, you just need a browser.

High Performance Web Sites :: Frontend Single Points of Failure

atxryan — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 20:11:11 +0000

"Five years ago most of the attention on web performance was focused on the backend. Since then we’ve learned that 80% of the time users wait for a web page to load is the responsibility of the frontend. I feel this same bias when it comes to identifying and guarding against single points of failure that can bring down a web site – the focus is on the backend and there’s not enough focus on the frontend. For larger web sites, the days of a single server, single router, single data center, and other backend SPOFs are way behind us. And yet, most major web sites include scripts and stylesheets in the typical way that creates a frontend SPOF. Even more worrisome – many of these scripts are from third parties for social widgets, web analytics, and ads."

iPad Orientation CSS « Cloud Four

For the most part, Mobile Safari on the iPad is the same as that on the iPhone. One difference that I’ve found is that Webkit on the iPad honors CSS media query declarations based on orientation.
