jQuery and its cousins are great, and by all means use them if it makes it easier to develop your application.
If you're developing a library on the other hand, please take a moment to consider if you actually need jQuery as a dependency. Maybe you can include a few lines of utility code, and forgo the requirement. If you're only targeting more modern browsers, you might not need anything more than what the browser ships with.
At the very least, make sure you know what jQuery is doing for you, and what it's not. Some developers believe that jQuery is protecting us from a great demon of browser incompatibility when, in truth, post-IE8, browsers are pretty easy to deal with on their own.

A jQuery plugin that uses CSS transitions to animate an element's height or width to or from auto.

We can use SVG in data URI, but it works for Webkits+Fx only. With encoding SVG in data URI works in all modern browsers! : )

Image loading seems to be something that’s either overlooked entirely, or handed off to unnecessarily large plugins. Having a beautiful, smooth and speedy loading experience for your site is a crucial part of good UX, and should be considered a common courtesy to your designer. After all, who wants to see their design spoiled by choppy line-by-line image loading every time they log on?

Earlier today I discovered an interesting way to keep (store) a CSS style on an element using CSS transitions. As far as CSS only solutions go, there are two other tricks that can be used to achieve this similar behavior: using either the :checked or the :target pseudo selectors. In this post, I’ll show you my CSS transition technique used above, followed by a slightly cooler example that I’ve been working on.

Witgui is a Wii and GameCube game manager for Mac OS X. It is a graphical user interface based on wit, wwt and the gametdb.com database. You will love its intuitiveness.

A simple, beautiful way to access your files and applications.

EasySIMBL is modified "SIMBL" for OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 or 10.10 supporting sandbox, resume. No installer.

Yes, I know there are other efforts on the web to replicate this effect with pure CSS, but none of them seems to come as close to the original, without images and with such minimal HTML.

Why bother, you may ask? Well, it was a fun pastime during SXSW breaks or sessions that turned out to be less interesting than expected or in the plane on the way home. Besides, I think that it could be useful in some cases, perhaps if the styling is tweaked to not resemble iOS too obviously or maybe in iOS app mockups or something.

Setting up a VPN server with Amazon EC2 is a great way to protect your privacy. You can turn the server on when you need it, shut it down when you dont. All your traffic will go through your VPN and go out on the internet from your EC2 box so that you are in a really secure environment.

DefaultKeyBindings.dict file (~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBindings.dict) for Mac OS X, created by Brett Terpstra and based heavily on work done by Lri. Please note that these bindings won’t work in all applications: TextWrangler and TextMate, for example, override these with their own settings. See Lri’s gists and website for more coding madness.

All InDesign scripts on this site are compatible with InDesign versions CS3 up to the latest version of CC.

The InDesign Scripting Forum is an ideal place to post scripting recipes and to address technical issues. I learn a lot from its famous contributors —Dave Saunders, Harbs, Jongware, Peter Kahrel, Kasyan Servetsky, Marijan Tompa… At odd times I post my own brainchilds. Here is a small selection of snippets and topics that I think are worthwhile.
