Refactoring Javascript with kratko.js

kratko.js takes an object and collects statistics about its methods and arguments. It can then display that information in a table, allowing to sort by method or argument length. It also provides such numbers as average method/arguments length, and max/min method/arguments length.

cross-domain | jQuery Plugins

cross-domain | jQuery Plugins

Modern browsers now support cross-window/cross-domain/cross-origin messaging
through window.postMessage.

postmessage is a simple wrapper for window.postMessage and the window message
event, for those who wish to use this feature in a more jQuery-like way.

postmessage falls back to window location hash polling for browsers that do
not support window.postMessage (i.e., IE7).

postmessage allows messaging back and forth using JSON where
window.postMessage only allows simple string-based messages.

postmessage also allows for complete request/response roundtrips using
success/error callbacks modeled after jQuery.ajax.

postmessage is tested on Safari 4, WebKit (Nightlies), Chrome 4, Firefox 3,
IE8, IE7 and Opera 10.10.

jVectorMap

jVectorMap is a jQuery plugin employed to show vector maps and visualize data on HTML pages. It uses SVG in all modern browsers like Firefox 3 or 4, Safari, Chrome, Opera, IE9, while legacy support for older versions of IE from 6 to 8 is provided with VML. Using jVectorMap is pretty simple as for any other jQuery plugin.

When Your Job Is Killing You Slowly

The Ballad of Crazypants

• Crazypants refuses to pay for services the business needs.
• Crazypants makes unilateral decisions without consulting the team she’s hired to execute those decisions, who know more about the day-to-day running of the business than Crazypants does.
• Crazypants likes to take rapid freak turns off the project highway, such as demanding my friend choose a new mailing list service the night before sending out a newsletter.
• Crazypants takes advantage of her employees’ desire to do good work in order to get away with chaotic management (at best!).
• Crazypants takes credit for her employees’ ideas — not only to clients and other outsiders, but even inside the company.
• Crazypants does her damnedest to control and intimidate her employees.

The Tree Slider

The new HTML5 History API (which really has nothing to do with HTML — it's a JavaScript API) allows us to manage the URL changes while CSS3 transitionshandle the sliding. Permalinks are always maintained, your back button works as expected, and it's much faster than waiting for a full page load.
