Do You Exclusively Use <code>webkit</code> Prefixes?

Do You Exclusively Use webkit Prefixes?

Jeffrey Way on Feb 10th 2012 with 0 comments

You’ve undoubtedly read about the vendor prefix web development drama of the week. If not, the W3C mailing lists have been on fire ever since it was discussed (and essentially announced) that Microsoft, Opera, and Firefox will begin to adopt and style webkit-prefixed properties. One of the reasons behind this decision is that we developers aren’t being responsible when coding our stylesheets; we’re applying too many webkit-specific properties, without considering other browsers.

Introducing “Regular Expressions: Up and Running”

Jeffrey Way on Jan 9th 2012 with 18 comments

Regular expressions are easily one of the (initially) scariest aspects of programming. Particularly at the beginning, when you haven’t learned a single symbol, a large regular expression chunk can serve to be an incredibly intimidating force.

However, once you dig in and learn a handful of the symbols and sequences, you’ll quickly find that it’s not so bad.

I’d like to pass this learning on to you in my brand new Tuts+ Premium course, Regular Expressions: Up and Running.”
