Re:Ask HN: What is your opinion on dojo framework? on Wednesday November 28, 2012 @11:56AM (#4843497)

I like it; it's a good framework for building web applications where you need to re-use widgets. Whereas YUI (which I'm forced to use at work), jQuery are handy for generating for single-page apps.

Hi,Currently working on creating a splash page. I had some illustration work done for it, but I am definitely no web-designer.To you, the end-user, does it illustrate my service in a manner what would entice you to sign up? I tried to focus on clear desciptions and CTA's.Also, if you are a web-designer and are seeking some work, give me a shout.

Re:Ask HN: what's your favorite PHP Function name? on Thursday November 15, 2012 @02:32PM (#4790315)

explode

Not really a function, but my favourite exception has always been "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM".

That is good to know; mine was watched for < 1 min as well.

We got a view; though, we don't necessarily know if it was by PG et al. It could have been the YC alumni that pre-screen applications.

Best of luck to everyone on their applications.

Re:Ask HN: Good places to learn UI/UX? on Monday November 12, 2012 @08:58PM (#4775893)

Hey,

I would have a look at "The UX Book: Process and Guidelines for Ensuring a Quality User Experience" by Rex Hartson & Parha Pyla. I picked it up on Safari Books a few weeks ago; it really gives you an in-depth look at both the theory and processes involved in UX design.

Also, have a look at the diagram on this page: http://uxdesign.smashingmagazine.com/2012/08/29/beyond-wiref... I have it pinned to my cubicle wall.

Very neat. It didn't really mention anything about production cost, but like most new and exciting innovations, it could be a huge barrier.
