Recently I was writing a “tips and tricks” blog post that was going to focus on the idea that it is better to use an object as a “string buffer”; the idea was that by passing this object around to various functions and pushing string fragments into it, you can get better performance from a JavaScript engine. My friend and colleague Alex Russell challenged me to show him hard data supporting this hypothesis—and the results were quite eye-opening!

One of the things JavaScript libraries like jQuery, Dojo, and YUI can do for you is add support for features in the latest Web standards long before they are built into browsers. But are some libraries going too far?

After reading A List Apart's article about if zebra striping (Link) makes any significant impact on speed/accessibility, I thought I would knock a quick demo up of taking zebra striping a step further using the mouseover event of jQuery, to me this appears to speed up scanning of the data.

Since I discovered it a few years ago, I've been a big Prototype fan. It's simple, and gets the job done with a minimum of fuss. It's not without warts, of course. I still occasionally forget to put 'new' in front of Ajax.Request, and some of the Ruby-like methods share their lineage's arcane naming. When it was new, it was the best thing around, and while it now has competitors, it's certainly not lagging behind.

I've ported the Processing visualization language to JavaScript, using the Canvas element. I've been working on this project, off-and-on now, for the past 7 months - it's been a fun, and quite rewarding, challenge. The full scope of the project can be broken down into two portions: The Processing Language, The Processing API

Actually Geert’s talk was called “Boldly Go Where Java Has Never Gone Before” but to me it was really centered on the idea of Java-the-language as interface.

When Rich Internet Applications reach a certain level of complexity, you start having concurrency problems similar, but not identical, to the problems with multiple threads -- the root cause is that http request callbacks and user interface events can come in an arbitrary order. This article works out an example that explains how this happens, as understanding the nature of asynchronous communication is the first step towards developing reliable apps.

For web developers, and especially front-end coders, the Firefox extension Firebug by Facebook’s Joe Hewitt is a killer app and major time saver. It lets you deconstruct the webpage currently loaded into Firefox to get a better idea of how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript needs to be modified to work properly (and it can even make changes to CSS on the fly).

In this article I want to point out the reasons why progressive enhancement is a very clever way of developing software and give you some tips and tricks how to develop when it comes to applying it. I am a strong believer in progressive enhancement and had my fair share of criticism for it as a lot of people neither consider it a need nor an easy technique to apply ? it is often seen as a unnecessary overhead rather than a safety precaution.

Yesterday I was profiling a page that used jQuery. The page took a long time to initialize. Firebug Profile (a great tool) told me that the time was in jQuery, but that wasn’t much help — the page initialization code had a lot of calls to jQuery, to bind functions to various page elements, and most of them were harmless.

Jacob Sedelin continues the mad experiments. The well-known founder of Javascript-ports Mario and Wolfenstein 3D was come to mind by idea to keep a javascript-code in a PNG-picture, thereby using possibilities of a compression of this format for code compression. The author has laid out small library which by means of a method getImageData() object Canvas reads out bytecode from a picture and translates it in clear for function eval() the form.
