I’ve just updated my favicon library, which I first wrote about here. I’ll explain more about the update in a separate post. For now, I want to talk about browser tabs.
Browser tabs were introduced by Opera. Then Firefox adopted them a few years later, as did Safari. Then Microsoft stepped into the ’90s with their [...]

I recently learned about a team which had adopted a proprietary Windows application to do agile (Agile [TM]) project management. Eeek! Wrong at so many levels, but I’m going to focus on the web vs desktop angle.
In an ideal world, there would be multiple UI platforms available for any application. e.g. do your project management [...]

OAuth, OpenID…they sound like the same thing and they kind of do vaguely similar things But I’m here to tell you, OAuth is not Open ID. They have a different purpose. I’ve been playing around with OAuth a bit in the past couple weeks and have a grip on what it’s aiming to do and [...]
Will the peripheral IT community come to view REST and Rails as equivalent? It might sound ridiculous, but consider: Unix==Linux, Wiki==Wikipedia, Ajax=Web 2.0, blogging==RSS, podcast==spoken MP3. Last but not least, every knows that

But acronyms sell better in the corporate world, as anyone who’s ever won a business case for working with POJOs will be acutely aware, or anyone who’s found AJAX 0wns Ajax. JAVA beats Java when you’re selling a $2K seminar and you wouldn’t be the first [...]
I’m busy preparing a list of desirables for Web 2.0 APIs. One of them is good documentation, and I came up with this term – “Documentation As Conversation” – to articulate much of what is needed in modern software docs – documentation which belongs to the community of users/end-developers as it does to the people [...]
A reader just mailed me about what I see as concerns with Ajax right now…what’s still worryng?
Well, here are a few things off the top of my head…
Accessibility is still a key issue, but more to do with if people bother to Ajaxify at all than if people break accessibility. If developers are required by [...]

Quizr – AKA “The reason this blog has been sparse for the past couple of months” – is online now. It’s a site I developed to allowing making, taking, and sharing of quizzes … making the most of Ajax and the assorted Web 2.0 technologies. At the heart of it is user-generated content – anyone [...]

This is the third in the four-part series on Ajax functionality and usability patterns (Book: Part 4, pp 327-530). An audio discussion of visual effects is ideally short and sweet, so this podcast is but 13 minutes long.
This 13-minute podcast covers ten patterns of Ajax Architecture (Book: Chapter 16, pp 445-472):
