This book was written by one of my favorite programmer bloggers. His blog javascriptissexy.com is sincerly a consistant reference for me. Don't knock it until you've read it.

Blink is open source, it's simply a fork of WebKit. That's why Opera is intending to use it instead of WebKit2. It's like Google wanted to take their ball to another court and still let everyone play.

You will not be able to install multiple versions of Firefox side by side. You'll need to use Firefox Portable Edition if you intend to have multiple instances.

Re:Poll: As a freelancer, how much do you bill per hour? on Tuesday January 03, 2012 @12:21PM (#3420377)
My rates and procedures are the same. Although, when clients expect me to rush design/build their work I bill 1.5 or double depending on the time frame.

Re:Should I use WordPress? on Thursday September 22, 2011 @06:06PM (#3028002)
I love the answers to this question.

If you need to build a quick site and add functionality rapidly, WordPress and the proper plugins are an excellent solution. Alternatively, if your goal is to build a complex site that's geared toward a single purpose. It's probably not the right tool.

The decision should be based on the application not ego.

Dunno, I didn't write it. I actually refreshed once because I thought there was an error. I then realized it was my fault after looking at the previous question.

Re:WordPress, Git-ified on Thursday August 18, 2011 @02:55PM (#2900523)
I have a feeling that WordPress will begin to pull (even more) heavily skilled developers if they move to a structured SVN system like this.
